Natural Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes sweeping changes across Queensland's natural resources, land, water and energy laws. It streamlines exploration permit processes with 15-year caps and more flexible work programs, creates a new dispute resolution system for state land subleases, strengthens water compliance enforcement, and establishes CleanCo as a government clean energy company to boost electricity market competition.
Land Valuation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill would have modernised Queensland's land valuation system - the framework that determines property values for calculating rates and land tax. It proposed streamlining the objection process, giving the valuer-general power to make binding guidelines for complex properties, and allowing valuation notices to be sent by SMS. The bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
