Building Queensland
OrganisationReferenced in 4 bills
Debt Reduction and Savings Bill 2021
This bill implements Queensland's Savings and Debt Plan by restructuring several government bodies and transferring the Titles Registry to a government-owned company within the Queensland Future Fund. It also introduces a fee unit model for regulatory fees, requires government agencies to publish online instead of in print, and makes safety improvements to tattoo ink regulation.
Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland's planning, development and disaster management laws. It streamlines how priority development areas are managed, updates Building Queensland's infrastructure assessment thresholds, expands the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's role to cover all natural disasters rather than just floods, and improves various planning processes.
Building Queensland Bill 2015
This bill creates Building Queensland, an independent statutory body that provides expert advice to the Queensland Government on major infrastructure projects. It is modelled on the Commonwealth's Infrastructure Australia and was a 2015 election commitment. The body will assess business cases, publish cost-benefit analysis summaries, and maintain a priority pipeline of infrastructure proposals.
Cross River Rail Delivery Authority Bill 2016
This bill sets up the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority, a new independent statutory body to build the Cross River Rail project connecting Brisbane across the river by underground rail. The Authority will operate commercially, with power to compulsorily acquire land and to drive economic development around new stations, and will be wound up once the project is complete.
