Fire and Emergency Services (Domestic Smoke Alarms) Amendment Bill 2016
This bill tightens Queensland's smoke alarm rules in response to the 2011 Slacks Creek house fire that killed 11 people. It requires every home to have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms powered by hardwiring or a 10-year lithium battery, phased in over a decade from 1 January 2017 to 1 January 2027.
Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's residential park laws to better protect manufactured home owners from excessive site rent increases and difficulty selling their homes. It caps annual rent rises, bans market rent reviews, creates a buyback scheme for unsold homes, and introduces new transparency requirements for park operators.
Justice and Other Legislation (COVID-19 Emergency Response) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill made temporary amendments to over 20 Queensland Acts as the state's third legislative response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It addressed issues that could not be dealt with under the existing COVID-19 Emergency Response Act 2020 modification framework, providing financial relief for workers, property owners and businesses, strengthening public health and emergency powers, and enabling corrections, disability and mental health services to operate safely during the emergency. Most provisions expired on 31 December 2020.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Further Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extended most of Queensland's temporary COVID-19 emergency laws until 30 April 2022, continuing the legal basis for public health directions, quarantine requirements, and support measures across multiple sectors. It also reformed the quarantine fee system to allow prepayment and third-party liability, and clarified that quarantine directions could be issued electronically.
Housing Legislation (Building Better Futures) Amendment Bill 2017
This bill updates five Queensland housing laws to give more protection to people living in manufactured home parks, retirement villages, boarding houses and rental properties. It was part of the 2017-2027 Queensland Housing Strategy and introduces new disclosure rules, dispute processes, behavioural standards, and a head of power for minimum rental housing standards.
