Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority Bill 2026
This bill sets up the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, a new government body to plan for and manage the region's rivers, creeks, lakes and passages in one coordinated place. It must produce a 10-year strategy and yearly programs, manage navigational access and marine infrastructure, and monitor sand and sediment movement, while marine safety and pollution rules stay with Maritime Safety Queensland.
Holidays and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill moves Labour Day back to the first Monday in May and the Queen's Birthday to the first Monday in October from 2016 onwards. It also lets people apply online for high risk work licences (for cranes, forklifts and scaffolding) by reusing driver licence photos, and consolidates the rules about digital photos and signatures across six transport and ID laws into one place.
Transport Operations (Marine Safety) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill rewrites parts of Queensland's marine safety laws so they fit alongside Commonwealth laws that have regulated commercial vessels since 2013. It creates a new category called 'Queensland regulated ship' to cover recreational boats and low-risk vessels like surf lifesaving craft that remain under state control, and removes Queensland rules that are now handled nationally.
Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill makes a wide range of changes to Queensland's transport laws. It transfers heavy vehicle regulatory staff to the national regulator, strengthens road safety rules for e-scooter and bicycle riders on footpaths, extends safety duties to all bus and public passenger services, and modernises toll payment dispute processes.
