Sanctuary Cove Resort Act 1985
LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Land Valuation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill updates Queensland's land valuation system to keep pace with an increasingly complex property market. It gives the valuer-general new powers to issue binding guidelines, streamlines the objection process so all landowners are treated equally regardless of property value, and gives farmers more choice over how their land is valued.
Building Units and Group Titles and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill strengthens protections for owners in older Queensland multi-owner developments (unit blocks, townhouses, mixed-use complexes) that are still governed by laws from the 1980s and 1990s. It brings these older body corporate laws closer into line with the more modern Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 by improving governance standards, financial transparency, and dispute resolution. It also enables the Office of Fair Trading to issue infringement notices for gift card breaches.
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.
Housing Availability and Affordability (Planning and Other Legislation Amendment) Bill 2023
This bill amends Queensland's planning laws to address the housing availability crisis. It gives the State new powers to acquire land for development infrastructure, creates a streamlined 'state facilitated application' process for priority housing developments, introduces an Urban Investigation Zone to manage growth areas, modernises outdated Development Control Plans, reduces red tape for urban encroachment registrations, and updates various operational aspects of the planning framework.
