OrganisationReferenced in 3 bills
Liquor (Artisan Liquor) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill creates a new artisan producer licence for Queensland craft brewers and artisan distillers, giving them a streamlined pathway to sell their products in taprooms, online, at wholesale, and at promotional events like farmers markets. It was introduced to support the growth of Queensland's independent liquor producers and help the industry recover from COVID-19 impacts.
Liquor (Rural Hotels Concession) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill cuts liquor licence fees by 90% for pubs located in very remote parts of Queensland. It recognises that hotels in remote communities are often the only social gathering place and struggle financially due to small populations and seasonal income.
Small Business Commissioner Bill 2021
This bill creates a permanent Queensland Small Business Commissioner to support small businesses with advice, advocacy, and dispute resolution. It transitions the temporary COVID-19 commissioner role established during the pandemic into a permanent statutory position, making Queensland consistent with other mainland states.
