Queensland Productivity Commission Bill 2024
This bill establishes the Queensland Productivity Commission as an independent statutory body to conduct public inquiries, research and provide advice on economic and social issues, regulatory matters and legislation. It was a commitment of the Queensland Government during the 2024 state election, re-establishing a body that previously existed under the now-repealed Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015.
Major Sports Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes several changes to Queensland's major sports facilities and major events laws. It allows Gold Coast stadiums to host concerts until 10:30pm (matching Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane), significantly increases penalties for ticket scalping, modernises Stadiums Queensland's board governance, and updates advertising restrictions to cover drones.
Royalty Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill overhauls how Queensland calculates petroleum royalties, replacing the old 'wellhead value' system with a simpler volume-based model that applies different rates depending on whether gas is sold domestically, supplied to LNG projects, produced as part of an LNG project, or is liquid petroleum. It also brings mineral and petroleum royalty administration under the Taxation Administration Act 2001 for consistency with state taxes.
Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill clarifies and simplifies the trust account framework that protects subcontractor payments in Queensland's building and construction industry. It also implements governance reforms for the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, transfers qualification-setting powers to the department, and makes regulatory improvements across six building industry Acts.
Local Government Electoral (Implementing Stage 2 of Belcarra) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill implements the second stage of reforms arising from the Crime and Corruption Commission's Operation Belcarra investigation into corruption risks at several Queensland councils. It strengthens donation transparency, overhauls how councillors manage conflicts of interest, expands the State's power to intervene in local government, brings Brisbane City Council under the same rules as other councils, and changes local government elections to full-preferential voting.
