Torres Strait Islander Cultural Heritage Act 2003
LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Public Trustee (Advisory and Monitoring Board) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill creates an independent advisory and monitoring board to oversee the Public Trustee of Queensland. It responds to a 2021 review that found the Public Trustee needed greater transparency and accountability in how it manages the financial affairs of vulnerable Queenslanders, particularly people with impaired decision-making capacity.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes amendments across multiple unrelated areas of Queensland law. It expands electronic conveyancing for property transactions, gives legislative effect to beneficial tax administrative arrangements, supports the State Penalties Enforcement Registry's new service delivery model, addresses a legal loophole allowing homemade alcohol production in discrete Indigenous communities, clarifies cultural heritage provisions following a Supreme Court decision, and streamlines Cross River Rail administration.
Public Records Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's 20-year-old public records law to bring it into the digital age. It modernises how government records are defined, managed, and accessed, while formally recognising the importance of public records for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and creating new advisory bodies to ensure their interests are considered.
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.
