Queensland Veterans' Council Bill 2021
This bill establishes the Queensland Veterans' Council as a new statutory body to take over management of Anzac Square in Brisbane, administer the Anzac Day Trust Fund that supports ex-service personnel and their families, and formally advise government on veterans' matters. It consolidates three existing governance arrangements — Brisbane City Council's trusteeship of Anzac Square, the Anzac Day Trust Board, and the Queensland Veterans' Advisory Council — into a single body.
Housing Availability and Affordability (Planning and Other Legislation Amendment) Bill 2023
This bill amends Queensland's planning laws to address the housing availability crisis. It gives the State new powers to acquire land for development infrastructure, creates a streamlined 'state facilitated application' process for priority housing developments, introduces an Urban Investigation Zone to manage growth areas, modernises outdated Development Control Plans, reduces red tape for urban encroachment registrations, and updates various operational aspects of the planning framework.
