Public-Private Partnership (Transparency and Accountability) Bill 2024

Public-Private Partnership (Transparency and Accountability) Bill 2024

This bill sought to create a comprehensive transparency framework for public-private partnerships (PPPs) used to deliver major Queensland infrastructure projects worth $10 million or more. Motivated by Queensland Audit Office findings and the Coaldrake review, it would have required government agencies to publish value for money assessments, justify commercial-in-confidence claims, and submit to regular Auditor-General reviews. This bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
