Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill makes a range of improvements to Queensland's transport laws. It broadens the types of road safety programs that can be funded from camera fine revenue, allows a wider range of motorised mobility devices to be used legally, extends legal protections for health professionals reporting unfit interstate drivers, streamlines court evidence rules for vehicle modification offences, and extends accommodation works powers to rail projects.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2019
This bill amends Queensland's heavy vehicle national law to implement reforms agreed by Australian transport ministers. It streamlines permit administration, consolidates vehicle defect notice rules, allows certain semitrailers to operate at 4.6 metres high without individual permits, and formally authorises the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator to provide compliance advice and education to the transport industry.
Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill improves the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) and strengthens consumer protections for motor vehicle buyers. It raises QCAT's jurisdictional limit for motor vehicle disputes from $25,000 to $100,000, reinstates statutory warranty coverage for older second-hand vehicles sold by dealers, and introduces conciliation as a new way to resolve disputes at QCAT.
