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.
Nature Conservation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill extends beekeeping access on specified national parks for 20 years until 2044, creates new offences for impersonating rangers and forest officers across Queensland's parks and forests, modernises enforcement powers for conservation officers, and updates governance arrangements for the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill overhauls Queensland's environmental regulation across multiple domains. It introduces ERA codes as a simpler way to regulate lower-risk environmental activities, creates a single tourism permission for operators working across parks and forests, strengthens enforcement powers for environmental and koala habitat offences, and improves protections for bore owners affected by resource operations.
Police Service Administration and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill modernises the security framework for Queensland Government buildings by repealing the State Buildings Protective Security Act 1983 and integrating Protective Services into the Queensland Police Service. It creates a single category of protective services officer (PSO) with standardised powers and introduces new accountability measures including a register of enforcement acts.
