Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025

This bill changes how Queensland regulates 'environmentally relevant activities', allowing some to operate under a standard code instead of an individual environmental authority, and removes the requirement for small-scale miners to pay a financial surety. It also makes related changes across 13 other Acts, covering groundwater make-good arrangements for bore owners, a single tourism permit for parks and forests, conservation officer powers, and longer prosecution timeframes.
