Royalty Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill changes how Queensland calculates petroleum royalties and modernises royalty administration for both petroleum and minerals. From 1 October 2020, petroleum royalty is based on production volume rather than the previous complex 'wellhead value' method, providing greater certainty for the coal seam gas and LNG industry.
Land, Explosives and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes across the Natural Resources, Mines and Energy portfolio. It strengthens explosives safety and security including automatic licence cancellation for domestic violence perpetrators, modernises compliance powers for State land, facilitates electronic property conveyancing, protects Cape York heritage land from mining, and supports Indigenous land ownership.
Coal Mining Safety and Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill makes practical adjustments to coal mining safety employment rules and supports Queensland's critical minerals sector. It allows coal mining companies more flexibility in staffing safety-critical positions while maintaining the core protections for workers, and introduces rent deferrals for new critical minerals mining leases.
