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.
Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill updates a wide range of planning, development and disaster recovery laws in Queensland. It modernises how Priority Development Areas are managed and enforced, adjusts Building Queensland's business case thresholds, expands the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's role to cover all types of natural disasters, and makes numerous improvements to the planning framework.
