Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority Bill 2026
This bill sets up the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, a new government body to plan for and manage the region's rivers, creeks, lakes and passages in one coordinated place. It must produce a 10-year strategy and yearly programs, manage navigational access and marine infrastructure, and monitor sand and sediment movement, while marine safety and pollution rules stay with Maritime Safety Queensland.
Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority Bill 2026
This bill establishes the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, a new statutory body to plan for and manage the region's waterways from Pumicestone Passage to the Noosa River. It responds to community concerns about fragmented waterway management across multiple councils and State agencies, particularly around the Bribie Island breakthrough. The authority will manage infrastructure, navigational access, and sand and sediment movement, with $35.6 million in government funding over three years.
Local Government (Councillor Conduct) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's local government councillor conduct complaints system, implementing recommendations from a parliamentary committee inquiry. It introduces a new preliminary assessment process, compulsory councillor training, a vexatious complainant scheme, and greater transparency for conduct investigations. The bill also modernises advertising requirements, amends the Queen's Wharf Brisbane Act, and updates Moreton Bay City Council references.
