Implementation of The Spit Master Plan Bill 2019

It commits $60 million in State funding and expands the Gold Coast Waterways Authority to deliver capital works.
Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Bill 2023
This bill establishes Queensland's legal framework for transforming its electricity system to renewable energy. It sets legislated targets for 50% renewable energy by 2030, 70% by 2032, and 80% by 2035, creates frameworks to build transmission infrastructure and Renewable Energy Zones, and guarantees job security for workers in coal-fired power stations.
Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill streamlines environmental and resources regulation in Queensland by creating standardised codes for lower-risk activities, reducing duplicate approval processes, and extending prosecution timeframes for environmental offences. It also creates a single permit system for tourism operators working across multiple parks and forests, and improves underground water monitoring and reporting for mining-affected areas.
Environmental Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill establishes a Rehabilitation Commissioner to provide independent advice on mine site rehabilitation and improves the framework for managing environmental risks on former resource sites. It ensures the State receives adequate funds from mining companies to manage residual risks after sites are closed, and requires these risks to be recorded on land titles.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024
This bill establishes the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority to ensure Queensland can deliver venues, villages, and infrastructure for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on time and on budget. The authority will operate independently with its own board but ultimately the State guarantees to cover any financial shortfall.
Planning (Social Impact and Community Benefit) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill introduces a community benefit system requiring developers of major projects to conduct social impact assessments and negotiate community benefit agreements with local governments before lodging development applications. It also streamlines governance and removes planning approval requirements for Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues to ensure they are delivered on time.
