Mineral and Energy Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill makes wide-ranging changes across Queensland's mining, energy and water sectors. It introduces industrial manslaughter offences for the resources industry, strengthens financial assurance requirements to prevent mining companies from abandoning sites without proper rehabilitation, streamlines resource authority approval processes, extends energy consumer protections, and increases transparency of water infrastructure charges in South East Queensland.
State Penalties Enforcement (Modernisation) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises Queensland's fines enforcement system and makes changes across several unrelated policy areas. It centralises the handling of camera-detected and tolling fines under a single agency (SPER within the Queensland Revenue Office), extends land tax concessions to Special Disability Trusts, reforms how the Residential Tenancies Authority is funded, and updates confidentiality rules for state penalties and taxation officials.
Integrity and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill strengthens Queensland's integrity and anti-corruption framework by implementing recommendations from Professor Peter Coaldrake's review of public sector culture and the Yearbury review of the Integrity Commissioner. It overhauls lobbying regulation, boosts the independence of five core integrity bodies, and extends the Ombudsman's reach to cover non-government organisations delivering public services.
Mineral and Energy Resources (Financial Provisioning) Bill 2018
This bill establishes a Financial Provisioning Scheme to protect Queensland from the cost of cleaning up mine sites when resource companies fail to rehabilitate the land. It replaces the old individual financial assurance system with a pooled fund model, where companies pay annual contributions based on their risk level, and introduces enforceable Progressive Rehabilitation and Closure Plans to ensure mined land is progressively restored throughout the life of a mine.
Queensland Future Fund Bill 2020
This bill establishes the Queensland Future Fund framework, starting with a Debt Retirement Fund that sets aside money exclusively for paying down State debt. It also legislates a 100% guarantee that the State will fully fund public sector defined benefit superannuation entitlements. The model is based on similar NSW legislation to satisfy credit rating agency requirements.
