OrganisationReferenced in 4 bills
Building Queensland Bill 2015
This bill creates Building Queensland, an independent statutory body that provides expert advice to the Queensland Government on major infrastructure projects. It is modelled on the Commonwealth's Infrastructure Australia and was a 2015 election commitment. The body will assess business cases, publish cost-benefit analysis summaries, and maintain a priority pipeline of infrastructure proposals.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024
This bill establishes the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority, a new statutory body to deliver venues, oversee village construction, and coordinate government responsibilities for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It gives the authority significant powers including compulsory land acquisition, the ability to bypass normal planning processes, and the power to direct government agencies on transport infrastructure.
Rail Safety National Law (Queensland) Bill 2016
This bill brings Queensland into Australia's national rail safety regime from 1 July 2017. It applies the Rail Safety National Law as a law of Queensland, repeals the Transport (Rail Safety) Act 2010, and makes the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator responsible for rail safety here. It also strengthens drug and alcohol rules for rail workers and funds federal investigators to look into rail accidents.
Cross River Rail Delivery Authority Bill 2016
This bill sets up the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority, a new independent statutory body to build the Cross River Rail project connecting Brisbane across the river by underground rail. The Authority will operate commercially, with power to compulsorily acquire land and to drive economic development around new stations, and will be wound up once the project is complete.
