Body Corporate and Community Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's body corporate laws in several significant ways. It creates a new process for terminating ageing or uneconomic apartment and unit schemes with 75% owner support, protecting dissenting owners with fair compensation. It restricts developers from using sunset clauses to cancel 'off the plan' contracts, and modernises everyday rules around smoking, pets and parking in strata schemes.
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.
Building Units and Group Titles and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill improves protections for owners in older unit and townhouse developments established before 1997, bringing their governance rules closer to modern strata legislation. It also enables enforcement of gift card consumer protections.
Liquid Fuel Supply (Minimum Biobased Petrol Content) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill attempted to strengthen Queensland's ethanol mandate, which has never been met since 2017. It would have doubled penalties for fuel retailers not selling enough ethanol-blended petrol and required that E10 fuel contain at least 9% ethanol. The bill was defeated at second reading and did not become law.
Queensland University of Technology Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reduces the QUT Council from 22 to 15 members to align with national best practice guidelines for university governance. It cuts the number of government-appointed and elected positions while increasing Council-appointed members, and requires student representation to include both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
