Liquor and Fair Trading Legislation (Red Tape Reduction) Amendment Bill 2015
This bill cuts red tape for Queensland's liquor and tourism industries and repeals 14 obsolete church and community organisation Acts. It lets craft breweries sell their beer at festivals and farmers markets, gives clubs, bed and breakfasts and campdrafting events more flexibility, and introduces a new approval process for liquor events held in pub car parks.
Major Sports Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill bundles changes across gambling, land, sport and transport laws. It cuts gaming machine tax for clubs with multiple premises, lets Queensland keno join interstate jackpot pools, allows the State to lease the beds of working rivers and lakes, streamlines stadium event advertising rules, and relaxes a toll freeze on the Logan and Gateway Motorways to fund a $450 million upgrade.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino and gambling regulation following major integrity failures found at casinos in other states. It introduces stronger enforcement powers for casino operators including fines up to $50 million, enables cashless gambling across all forms of gambling, creates a new simulated events wagering product, and simplifies fundraising rules for national charities.
Liquor (Artisan Liquor) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill amends the Liquor Act 1992 to create a new artisan producer licence for Queensland's craft brewers and artisan distillers. It gives small, independent producers a tailored licensing framework with on-premises sales, takeaway, online ordering, and the ability to sell at promotional events like farmers markets. The reforms were developed under the Queensland Craft Brewing Strategy and accelerated by the impact of COVID-19 on the industry.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found money laundering, links to organised crime, and inadequate harm minimisation at Star Entertainment's Queensland casinos. It introduces mandatory identity-linked player cards, cashless gambling limits, binding pre-commitment systems for loss and time limits, a new supervision levy on casinos, five-yearly reviews of casino operations, and requirements to exclude people banned from interstate casinos.
Holidays and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes Christmas Eve a part-day public holiday in Queensland from 6pm to midnight. It recognises that Christmas celebrations often begin on the evening of 24 December and ensures workers are either able to refuse work after 6pm or receive penalty rates if they do work.
Tackling Alcohol-Fuelled Violence Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill targets alcohol-fuelled violence by cutting late-night liquor trading hours, banning rapid intoxication drinks after midnight, and stopping new extended trading approvals for takeaway alcohol. It also reforms drug and alcohol bail conditions to focus on treatment instead of punishment, and tidies up a range of liquor rules covering craft beer, community clubs, bed and breakfasts and car park events.
