PlaceReferenced in 4 bills
Natural Resources and Other Legislation (GDA2020) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill updates Queensland's spatial positioning framework to the national GDA2020 standard, ensuring maps stay accurate as Australia drifts north-east. It also creates easier pathways for Traditional Owners to receive land under Indigenous Land Use Agreements and streamlines state land lease renewals.
Land and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises Queensland's land, resources and environmental regulatory frameworks. It streamlines lease conversion and renewal processes, allows local governments to keep stock route revenue for maintenance, updates publication requirements from newspapers to digital media, and creates pathways for mining lease transfers.
Land, Explosives and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes across the Natural Resources, Mines and Energy portfolio. It strengthens explosives safety and security including automatic licence cancellation for domestic violence perpetrators, modernises compliance powers for State land, facilitates electronic property conveyancing, protects Cape York heritage land from mining, and supports Indigenous land ownership.
Nature Conservation (Special Wildlife Reserves) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill creates 'special wildlife reserves' - a new type of protected area for private land that provides the same level of protection as national parks. Landholders voluntarily enter perpetual agreements with the government to protect their land from mining, forestry and other incompatible uses, while retaining ownership. The bill also extends Great Barrier Reef environmental protections to activities crossing into Commonwealth waters.
