COVID-19 Emergency Response and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill extends Queensland's COVID-19 emergency laws from 31 December 2020 to 30 April 2021, allowing continued pandemic response measures. It also makes separate changes to how council vacancies are filled, supports artisan distillers, and extends the Small Business Commissioner role.
Body Corporate and Community Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's body corporate laws in several significant ways. It creates a new process for terminating ageing or uneconomic apartment and unit schemes with 75% owner support, protecting dissenting owners with fair compensation. It restricts developers from using sunset clauses to cancel 'off the plan' contracts, and modernises everyday rules around smoking, pets and parking in strata schemes.
Property Law Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's 50-year-old Property Law Act with modernised legislation that makes property transactions clearer and safer. It introduces a mandatory seller disclosure scheme so buyers receive standardised information before signing contracts, supports electronic conveyancing, and protects parties when settlement is disrupted by emergencies or system failures.
Building Units and Group Titles and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill improves protections for owners in older unit and townhouse developments established before 1997, bringing their governance rules closer to modern strata legislation. It also enables enforcement of gift card consumer protections.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements major revenue changes from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 State Budgets. It reforms land tax to account for interstate property holdings, introduces higher coal royalties during high price periods, creates a mental health levy on large employers, and provides various stamp duty exemptions for small businesses, retirement visa holders, and deceased estates.
Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill makes major reforms to Queensland's rental laws to strengthen tenant protections in a tight housing market. It bans rent bidding, applies the 12-month rent increase limit to properties rather than individual tenancies, caps break-lease fees, requires evidence for bond claims, and protects tenant privacy. The bill also requires property agents to complete mandatory annual training and allows local government employees to reduce their superannuation contributions.
Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging improvements to Queensland's economic development and planning legislation. It streamlines how Priority Development Areas are managed, expands the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's role to include disaster prevention and resilience (not just recovery), and makes administrative improvements to infrastructure planning and the planning courts.
Justice and Other Legislation (COVID-19 Emergency Response) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill amends over 20 Queensland Acts to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. It provides financial relief for businesses and individuals, expands emergency powers for health and corrective services, and gives government agencies operational flexibility during the pandemic. Most provisions were set to expire on 31 December 2020.
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill delivers major reforms to Queensland's rental laws and retirement village regulations. It ends 'without grounds' evictions, introduces minimum housing standards for rental properties, strengthens protections for people experiencing domestic violence, creates a framework for tenants to keep pets, and exempts resident-operated retirement villages from mandatory buyback requirements.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Further Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extended Queensland's COVID-19 emergency measures from September 2021 to April 2022, continuing public health powers, quarantine requirements, and economic protections while vaccines were being rolled out. It also improved the quarantine fee system by allowing prepayment and third-party liability arrangements for traveller cohorts like seasonal workers.
Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms several health-related regulatory frameworks in Queensland. It repeals the state's medicinal cannabis approval system (which duplicated Commonwealth processes), establishes a register to track occupational dust lung diseases like coal workers' pneumoconiosis, empowers health authorities to require public notices about pollution events, and ensures freehold retirement village residents receive timely payment when they leave.
COVID-19 Emergency Response and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extends Queensland's COVID-19 emergency laws until 30 September 2021 and gives local governments more flexibility during the pandemic. It covers extensions to temporary regulations across many areas of life, allows councils to adjust rates outside normal budget cycles, and creates new rules for holding COVID-safe local government elections.
