COVID-19 Emergency Response and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill extends Queensland's COVID-19 emergency response legislation from 31 December 2020 to 30 April 2021, keeping temporary measures in place across tenancy, courts, health and other areas. It also makes standalone reforms to support artisan distillers, reform local government vacancy processes, and enable COVID-safe by-elections.
Property Law Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's nearly 50-year-old Property Law Act 1974 with a modernised framework covering how property is bought, sold, leased, and mortgaged. It introduces a new statutory seller disclosure scheme requiring sellers to provide standardised information to buyers before contracts are signed, updates the law to support electronic conveyancing and digital transactions, and removes outdated provisions that no longer reflect modern property practice.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Further Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extends Queensland's temporary COVID-19 emergency laws from 30 September 2021 to 30 April 2022. It keeps in place the Chief Health Officer's powers to issue public health directions, require quarantine, and restrict movement, while also reforming the quarantine fee system to allow prepayment by prescribed traveller cohorts and third-party liability for fees.
Small Business Commissioner Bill 2021
This bill permanently establishes a Queensland Small Business Commissioner to provide advice, support, and dispute resolution services for small businesses. It replaces the temporary commissioner role created during the COVID-19 pandemic with a permanent statutory office, making Queensland consistent with every other mainland state.
COVID-19 Emergency Response and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extends Queensland's temporary COVID-19 emergency laws until 30 September 2021, continuing protections and flexible arrangements across tenancy, courts, corrections, gaming, and other areas. It also gives local governments new powers to adjust rates mid-year, hold COVID-safe by-elections, and continue remote council meetings.
