Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to give tenants stronger protections and greater security.

It also exempts resident-operated freehold retirement villages from mandatory buyback obligations.

This bill makes sweeping changes across Queensland's agriculture, fisheries and animal management laws. It bans dangerous dog breeds, introduces statewide dog control rules with tough penalties including imprisonment, sets up camera and observer monitoring on commercial fishing boats to protect the Great Barrier Reef, strengthens biosecurity emergency powers, and reforms several other agricultural and animal welfare laws.
