LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
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.
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.
Police Powers and Responsibilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill updates police powers and several related laws to improve community safety and front-line policing. It creates new search powers for high-risk missing persons, simplifies crime scene rules, strengthens evade police provisions, streamlines parole board processes, and adds Commonwealth child sex offences to Queensland's reportable offender scheme.
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.
