Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012
LegislationReferenced in 2 bills
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 2017
This bill bundles a series of changes to Queensland transport laws. It lowers the age for the state proof-of-age card from 18 to 15 and renames it the 'photo identification card', lets people apply for many transport products online instead of on paper forms, tightens rules that stop people convicted of attempted rape from driving taxis and buses, and updates public transport enforcement, dangerous goods and road works rules.
