Land Court Act 2000
LegislationReferenced in 10 bills
Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill is a wide-ranging omnibus that tackles metal theft with new criminal offences and penalties up to 25 years imprisonment, improves the coronial system to handle deaths in custody more efficiently and cover deaths of people with disability receiving Commonwealth supports, raises the District Court's civil jurisdiction from $750,000 to $1.5 million, and makes numerous other updates to justice and administrative legislation including repealing the Brisbane Casino Agreement Act.
North Stradbroke Island Protection and Sustainability and Others Acts Amendment Bill 2015
This bill reverses 2013 changes that had extended sand mining on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) out to 2035, restoring the original plan to end mining substantially by 2019. It also creates a new power for former mine operators across Queensland to re-enter land to finish rehabilitation after their mining leases expire.
Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill amends over 30 Acts and regulations within the justice portfolio to improve how Queensland's courts, tribunals, and administrative agencies operate. It modernises the coronial system, strengthens protections for vulnerable witnesses, speeds up the handling of property offences, and fixes various anomalies across the justice system.
Court and Civil Legislation Amendment Bill 2017
This bill bundles many small justice-portfolio reforms into one Act. It speeds up how courts and tribunals work, brings Queensland's film and game classification laws in line with the national scheme, strengthens the Ombudsman, creates an automatic domestic violence notation on criminal records, and updates a long list of rules on wills, trusts, legal practice and retail shop leases.
Mineral, Water and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2017
This bill reshapes how Queensland landholders and resource companies resolve disputes over mining and gas activity on private land, and modernises water planning laws to address climate change, First Nations cultural values, and urgent water quality emergencies. It bundles these changes with a large set of streamlining amendments to eight resource and water Acts.
Environmental Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill creates a new Rehabilitation Commissioner to independently oversee mine site rehabilitation in Queensland, strengthens the residual risk framework for managing former resource sites after mining companies hand back their environmental authorities, and establishes a dedicated fund to manage the payments mining companies make towards the long-term costs of looking after those sites.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill makes a range of technical changes to Queensland's tax, superannuation, and government planning laws. It tightens a stamp duty home concession rule, backdates several tax exemptions that have been run administratively, lets State and Local Government employees choose their own super fund, opens QSuper and LGIAsuper to everyone, and cuts duplicated Queensland Plan reporting.
State Development and Public Works Organisation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill restores the right of community members to formally object to mining projects' environmental authorities, even when the Coordinator-General has already set the conditions. It also clarifies that Land Court judges, registrars, lawyers and witnesses have full legal immunity when handling mining objection matters, fixing uncertainty caused by a recent Supreme Court decision.
Superannuation (State Public Sector) (Scheme Administration) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill facilitates the merger of QSuper and Sunsuper into Australia's second largest superannuation fund, with around $200 billion under administration. It retires the QSuper Board as trustee, moves the trust deed out of legislation into a non-statutory instrument, and ensures the merged entity stays headquartered in Queensland.
Planning (Social Impact and Community Benefit) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill introduces a community benefit system requiring developers of large-scale projects (primarily renewable energy) to assess social impacts and negotiate community benefit agreements with local governments before seeking planning approval. It also overhauls governance and planning approvals for Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues and infrastructure, and makes administrative changes to Economic Development Queensland.
