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.
Major Sports Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill updates Queensland's laws for major sports facilities and events. It allows Gold Coast stadiums to host concerts until 10:30pm by removing restrictive liquor licensing noise conditions, increases penalties for ticket scalping, and modernises the governance of the Stadiums Queensland board.
Police Powers and Responsibilities (Commonwealth Games) Amendment Bill 2017
This bill gives Queensland police temporary extra powers to keep crowds safe during the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. It creates 'protective security zones' around Games venues, pedestrian routes and transport hubs where police can search people, vehicles and premises without a warrant, use detection dogs and direct crowds. The powers expire on 22 April 2018, one week after the Games end.
