COVID-19 Emergency Response and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill extends Queensland's COVID-19 emergency laws from 31 December 2020 to 30 April 2021, allowing continued pandemic response measures. It also makes separate changes to how council vacancies are filled, supports artisan distillers, and extends the Small Business Commissioner role.
Property Law Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's 50-year-old Property Law Act with modernised legislation that makes property transactions clearer and safer. It introduces a mandatory seller disclosure scheme so buyers receive standardised information before signing contracts, supports electronic conveyancing, and protects parties when settlement is disrupted by emergencies or system failures.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Further Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extended Queensland's COVID-19 emergency measures from September 2021 to April 2022, continuing public health powers, quarantine requirements, and economic protections while vaccines were being rolled out. It also improved the quarantine fee system by allowing prepayment and third-party liability arrangements for traveller cohorts like seasonal workers.
Small Business Commissioner Bill 2021
This bill creates a permanent Queensland Small Business Commissioner to support small businesses with advice, advocacy, and dispute resolution. It transitions the temporary COVID-19 commissioner role established during the pandemic into a permanent statutory position, making Queensland consistent with other mainland states.
