Land Court of Queensland
OrganisationReferenced in 4 bills
Land Valuation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill would have modernised Queensland's land valuation system - the framework that determines property values for calculating rates and land tax. It proposed streamlining the objection process, giving the valuer-general power to make binding guidelines for complex properties, and allowing valuation notices to be sent by SMS. The bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes technical fixes to mining and petroleum laws to protect existing resource tenures from administrative errors, repeals the never-implemented Personalised Transport Ombudsman scheme, and gives South East Queensland water distributors new powers to enforce water restrictions while protecting cyber security information from public disclosure.
Mineral, Water and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland's mining, petroleum and water laws. It improves dispute resolution for landholders dealing with mining and gas companies, strengthens climate change and First Nations considerations in water planning, creates temporary water access mechanisms, and establishes emergency powers for water quality crises.
Coal Mining Safety and Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill makes practical adjustments to coal mining safety employment rules and supports Queensland's critical minerals sector. It allows coal mining companies more flexibility in staffing safety-critical positions while maintaining the core protections for workers, and introduces rent deferrals for new critical minerals mining leases.
