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.
Water Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill strengthens how non-urban water take is measured and reported in Queensland, implementing the state's strengthened water measurement policy. It introduces requirements for measurement devices, measurement systems, measurement plans, and near real-time telemetry to ensure water is accurately accounted for, particularly in the Murray-Darling Basin. The bill also improves water licence administration, water authority governance, and drinking and recycled water regulation.
