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 the Public Advocate's 2021 report which 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 wide-ranging amendments across revenue, penalties, Indigenous community safety, cultural heritage, and transport infrastructure legislation. It expands electronic property settlement in Queensland, formalises several beneficial tax arrangements, improves the SPER debt management system, closes a loophole allowing homemade alcohol production in remote Indigenous communities, and makes governance changes to the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority.
Public Records Bill 2023
This bill replaces the Public Records Act 2002 with a modernised law governing how Queensland's government records are created, managed and made accessible to the public. It updates definitions to cover digital records, strengthens protections against unlawful destruction of records, and recognises the importance of public records for Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Planning (Social Impact and Community Benefit) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill introduces a community benefit system requiring developers of prescribed projects (initially renewable energy developments) to assess social impacts and negotiate agreements with local governments before lodging planning applications. It also restructures the governance and delivery framework for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and makes administrative changes to Economic Development Queensland.
