Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002
LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Exhibited Animals Bill 2015
This bill creates a single law for exhibiting animals in Queensland, covering zoos, wildlife parks, aquariums, circuses and mobile animal shows. It replaces four overlapping Acts with one exhibition licence and a new legal duty to minimise animal welfare, biosecurity and public safety risks.
Nature Conservation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill rolls back several 2013 changes to Queensland's nature conservation laws to strengthen protection of national parks. It restores 'conservation of nature' as the sole purpose of the Nature Conservation Act 1992, brings back three distinct classes of protected area with their own management rules, and restores the requirement for public consultation before management plans are changed.
Agriculture and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill updates 10 Queensland agriculture laws with mostly technical changes — clearing the way for drone-based crop spraying, tightening controls on feeding animal products to livestock, speeding up exotic disease responses, simplifying pet microchip rules, and realigning company director liability with national principles. It also stops the automatic repeal of rules that manage the state's 38 remaining forest reserves, keeping them in place until those lands can be transferred to new tenures.
