Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises the rules for Queensland's 22,660 incorporated associations and charitable organisations. It cuts red tape by allowing groups registered with the national charities regulator to avoid submitting duplicate financial reports to Queensland, introduces clearer governance standards for committee members, and updates processes that had not been reformed since 2007.
Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill makes major reforms to Queensland's rental laws to strengthen tenant protections in a tight housing market. It bans rent bidding, applies the 12-month rent increase limit to properties rather than individual tenancies, caps break-lease fees, requires evidence for bond claims, and protects tenant privacy. The bill also requires property agents to complete mandatory annual training and allows local government employees to reduce their superannuation contributions.
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.
