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.
Agriculture and Fisheries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill makes major reforms to dangerous dog laws, commercial fishing monitoring, and biosecurity emergency powers. It bans restricted dog breeds like pit bulls, requires cameras or observers on commercial fishing boats to protect the Great Barrier Reef, and extends the duration of biosecurity emergency orders to better respond to disease outbreaks.
