LegislationReferenced in 7 bills
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill makes changes across five unrelated policy areas bundled into one piece of legislation. It restructures the 2032 Olympics infrastructure authority, repeals the Path to Treaty Act 2023 (ending First Nations treaty and truth-telling processes), winds back workplace safety entry powers for union officials, clarifies planning rules for State Facilitated Development, and strengthens the independence of the Public Sector Commissioner.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Bill 2021
This bill establishes the Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games as an independent statutory body. The committee is responsible for planning, organising, promoting and financially managing the Games, with a board of directors representing government, sporting bodies, athletes and independent members.
Queensland Academy of Sport Bill 2025
This bill establishes the Queensland Academy of Sport as an independent statutory body, removing it from the Department of Sport, Racing and Olympic and Paralympic Games. The change is designed to give the Academy the agility, operational independence, and financial flexibility it needs to prepare Queensland athletes for success at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024
This bill establishes the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority, a new statutory body to deliver venues, oversee village construction, and coordinate government responsibilities for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It gives the authority significant powers including compulsory land acquisition, the ability to bypass normal planning processes, and the power to direct government agencies on transport infrastructure.
Information Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill modernises Queensland's information privacy and right to information laws. It introduces mandatory data breach notifications so agencies must tell you if your personal information is compromised, replaces the old dual privacy principles with a single set of Queensland Privacy Principles aligned with federal law, and supports the proactive release of Cabinet documents for greater government transparency.
Water Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill strengthens how non-urban water take is measured and reported in Queensland, delivering on commitments made after the 2018 Independent Audit of Queensland Non-Urban Water Measurement and Compliance and the Murray-Darling Basin Compliance Compact. It creates a new regulatory framework requiring water entitlement holders to use approved measurement devices, measurement plans, and in some cases telemetry to accurately track and report their water use.
Planning (Social Impact and Community Benefit) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill introduces a community benefit system requiring developers of large-scale projects (primarily renewable energy) to assess social impacts and negotiate community benefit agreements with local governments before seeking planning approval. It also overhauls governance and planning approvals for Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues and infrastructure, and makes administrative changes to Economic Development Queensland.
