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 (Indigenous Joint Management - Moreton Island) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill enables the joint management of national parks and conservation parks on Moreton Island (Mulgumpin) by the Quandamooka People and the Queensland Government. It follows a 2019 Federal Court native title determination and extends the same joint management model already used on North Stradbroke Island.
Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill improves Queensland's workers' compensation scheme based on a major independent review, strengthens protections for apprentices and trainees, and requires Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander representation on the TAFE Queensland Board. It also repeals the redundant Commonwealth Games Arrangements Act 2011.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 3) 2025
This bill amends eight Queensland health Acts to fix implementation issues with the new fertility clinic regulatory framework, create a legal basis for organ donation procedures before circulatory death, require cosmetic surgery safety standards at private hospitals, and give the government broader powers to remove health board members. It is the third health legislation amendment bill for 2025.
Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill makes a wide range of changes to Queensland's transport laws. It transfers heavy vehicle regulatory staff to the national regulator, strengthens road safety rules for e-scooter and bicycle riders on footpaths, extends safety duties to all bus and public passenger services, and modernises toll payment dispute processes.
