Tow Truck and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms three distinct areas: it regulates tow truck operators who remove vehicles from private property (like shopping centres), ensures 17-year-old drivers remain accountable for serious driving offences, and reduces administration fees for motorists with multiple unpaid tolls. The private property towing reforms respond to community complaints about exploitative practices.
Personalised Transport Ombudsman Bill 2019
This bill creates the Personalised Transport Ombudsman to resolve complaints about taxis, rideshare, limousines and booked hire services.

Housing Availability and Affordability (Planning and Other Legislation Amendment) Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's planning laws to speed up housing delivery. It gives the State new powers to fast-track priority developments like affordable housing, acquire land for critical infrastructure, and create 'holding zones' for future growth areas. It also validates past development approvals that were called into question by a court ruling.
