Building Queensland Act 2015
LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Debt Reduction and Savings Bill 2021
This bill implements the Queensland Government's Savings and Debt Plan through a series of structural reforms. It transfers the Titles Registry to a government-owned company within the Queensland Future Fund to improve the State's balance sheet, abolishes three statutory bodies (Building Queensland, the Queensland Productivity Commission, and the Public Safety Business Agency), and introduces measures to modernise government operations including a fee unit model and mandatory digital publication.
Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill updates a wide range of planning, development and disaster recovery laws in Queensland. It modernises how Priority Development Areas are managed and enforced, adjusts Building Queensland's business case thresholds, expands the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's role to cover all types of natural disasters, and makes numerous improvements to the planning framework.
Local Government (Councillor Complaints) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill replaces Queensland's system for handling complaints about local government councillors with an independent, streamlined framework. It creates an Independent Assessor to investigate all complaints, a Councillor Conduct Tribunal to hear serious misconduct cases, and a mandatory code of conduct for councillors. The reforms address longstanding concerns about conflicts of interest when council CEOs assessed complaints against their own councillors.
