LegislationReferenced in 2 bills
Public-Private Partnership (Transparency and Accountability) Bill 2024
This bill would have required the Queensland Government to be more open about Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) used to deliver major infrastructure. It responded to Queensland Audit Office findings that the public has limited visibility into whether these deals represent value for money, and to the Coaldrake review's recommendations about government transparency. The bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill implements revenue measures from the 2019-20 Queensland Budget. It raises land tax rates on large corporate landholdings and foreign owners, increases the petroleum royalty rate from 10% to 12.5%, adjusts payroll tax thresholds and rates, and provides targeted tax relief for regional employers and businesses that employ apprentices and trainees.
