LegislationReferenced in 5 bills
Fisheries (Sustainable Fisheries Strategy) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill overhauls Queensland's fisheries management by introducing harvest strategies as the key tool for managing fish stocks, strengthening enforcement against black marketing of seafood, and formally recognising charter fishing and Indigenous fishing in the law. It implements the Queensland Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027, backed by $20.9 million in funding for better monitoring, compliance and stakeholder engagement.
Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority Bill 2026
This bill creates the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, a new government body dedicated to managing the region's rivers, creeks, lakes and coastal waterways. It responds to community concerns about fragmented management — particularly around the Bribie Island breakthrough into Pumicestone Passage — by putting one authority in charge of strategic planning, infrastructure, navigational access, and sand and sediment management for Sunshine Coast waterways.
Nature Conservation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill extends beekeeping access on specified national parks for 20 years until 2044, creates new offences for impersonating rangers and forest officers across Queensland's parks and forests, modernises enforcement powers for conservation officers, and updates governance arrangements for the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill overhauls Queensland's environmental regulation across multiple domains. It introduces ERA codes as a simpler way to regulate lower-risk environmental activities, creates a single tourism permission for operators working across parks and forests, strengthens enforcement powers for environmental and koala habitat offences, and improves protections for bore owners affected by resource operations.
Police Service Administration and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill modernises the security framework for Queensland Government buildings by repealing the State Buildings Protective Security Act 1983 and integrating Protective Services into the Queensland Police Service. It creates a single category of protective services officer (PSO) with standardised powers and introduces new accountability measures including a register of enforcement acts.
