OrganisationReferenced in 6 bills
Major Sports Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill updates Queensland's laws for major sports facilities and events. It allows Gold Coast stadiums to host concerts until 10:30pm by removing restrictive liquor licensing noise conditions, increases penalties for ticket scalping, and modernises the governance of the Stadiums Queensland board.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino and gambling regulation following major integrity failures found at casinos in other states. It introduces stronger enforcement powers for casino operators including fines up to $50 million, enables cashless gambling across all forms of gambling, creates a new simulated events wagering product, and simplifies fundraising rules for national charities.
Criminal Code (Consent and Mistake of Fact) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill makes changes across several unrelated areas of Queensland law. It clarifies sexual consent provisions in the Criminal Code following a Queensland Law Reform Commission review, bans online wagering sign-up inducements, strengthens alcohol-fuelled violence measures including longer police banning notices and tighter ID scanning, and ensures victims of solicitor dishonesty receive full compensation from the Legal Practitioners' Fidelity Guarantee Fund.
Liquor (Artisan Liquor) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill amends the Liquor Act 1992 to create a new artisan producer licence for Queensland's craft brewers and artisan distillers. It gives small, independent producers a tailored licensing framework with on-premises sales, takeaway, online ordering, and the ability to sell at promotional events like farmers markets. The reforms were developed under the Queensland Craft Brewing Strategy and accelerated by the impact of COVID-19 on the industry.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found money laundering, links to organised crime, and inadequate harm minimisation at Star Entertainment's Queensland casinos. It introduces mandatory identity-linked player cards, cashless gambling limits, binding pre-commitment systems for loss and time limits, a new supervision levy on casinos, five-yearly reviews of casino operations, and requirements to exclude people banned from interstate casinos.
Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes permanent several temporary COVID-19 measures in Queensland's justice system. It modernises how legal documents are signed and witnessed by allowing electronic signatures and video link witnessing, improves access to domestic violence protection orders, lets licensed restaurants permanently sell takeaway wine with meals, and extends COVID-19 retail lease protections.
