This bill makes a wide range of transport-related changes including broadening how speed and red-light camera fine revenue can be spent on road safety, expanding the types of motorised mobility devices legally allowed on paths, improving court processes for vehicle modification offences, and protecting health professionals who report medically unfit interstate drivers.
Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026
This bill introduces sweeping reforms to how e-bikes, e-scooters and personal mobility devices are regulated in Queensland, responding to a near-doubling of injuries and 12 fatalities in 2025. It sets a minimum rider age of 16 with a licence requirement, gives police power to seize and destroy illegal devices, creates new drink riding offences for cyclists and e-mobility riders, and limits footpath speeds to 10 km/h.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2019
This bill amends the Heavy Vehicle National Law to implement nationally agreed reforms for the regulation of trucks and other heavy vehicles across Australia. It updates vehicle standards definitions, streamlines defect notice processes, allows certain semitrailers greater road access, and formally empowers the Regulator to provide advice and education to the transport industry.
