LegislationReferenced in 7 bills
Body Corporate and Community Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's body corporate laws to address ageing unit complexes, pet ownership, smoking, off-the-plan property purchases, and scheme governance. It creates a new process for terminating uneconomic community titles schemes with 75% owner approval, strengthens buyer protections against sunset clause misuse in off-the-plan contracts, and clarifies residents' rights to keep pets and be protected from second-hand smoke.
Transport and Other Legislation (Road Safety, Technology and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill introduces a Digital Licence App for Queensland, enables cameras to detect seatbelt and mobile phone offences, fixes minor issues with drink driving interlock laws, preserves legal interests when land becomes rail or busway corridor, and gives the Department of Transport and Main Roads power to access adjacent private land for environmental management.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products (Dismantling Illegal Trade) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill significantly strengthens Queensland's ability to crack down on the illegal trade in tobacco, vapes and other nicotine products. It extends the time shops can be forced to close from 72 hours to three months, creates new offences for landlords who allow illegal trade on their premises, and gives Queensland Health powers to conduct covert 'test purchase' operations to catch illegal sellers.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill puts frontline health workers on hospital boards and cracks down on illegal vaping. It requires each Hospital and Health Board to include at least one doctor, nurse or allied health professional who actually works at that hospital, delivering on a 2024 election commitment. It also allows Queensland Health to immediately destroy seized vaping products instead of storing them for weeks, and lets courts make convicted sellers pay enforcement costs.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's smoking laws by requiring all businesses selling tobacco, vapes and other smoking products to hold a licence, expanding smoke-free public spaces, cracking down on illicit tobacco, and updating advertising rules for the digital age. It aims to continue driving down smoking rates while protecting Queenslanders — especially children — from the harms of smoking and second-hand smoke.
Personalised Transport Ombudsman Bill 2019
This bill creates a new independent Personalised Transport Ombudsman to investigate and help resolve complaints about taxis, ride-share and booked hire vehicle services in Queensland. It also updates transport legislation to support a new public transport ticketing system and makes various improvements to operator and driver accreditation requirements.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products (Vaping) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill gives Queensland stronger powers to enforce the national ban on recreational vaping and crack down on the illegal sale of vapes and tobacco. It creates new offences for supplying and possessing illicit nicotine products (including vapes and nicotine pouches), dramatically increases penalties, and introduces powers to close non-compliant shops and seek court injunctions against repeat offenders.
