Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2022
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 (Road Safety, Technology and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill introduces a Digital Licence App so Queenslanders can carry their driver licence and proof of identity on their phone. It also enables cameras to detect seatbelt and mobile phone offences, fixes technical issues with drink driving interlock laws, preserves legal interests in rail and busway corridor land, and gives Transport and Main Roads access to private land for environmental management.
Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill improves Queensland's main tribunal (QCAT) and strengthens consumer protections for vehicle buyers. It raises QCAT's jurisdictional limit for motor vehicle disputes from $25,000 to $100,000, reinstates statutory warranty protections for older used vehicles sold by dealers, and introduces conciliation as a new dispute resolution option.
Tow Truck Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's 50-year-old Tow Truck Act 1973 with a modernised framework for regulating tow trucks that remove crashed, seized or privately parked vehicles. It introduces a unified accreditation system, increases penalties for non-compliance, and strengthens consumer protections for motorists who may be vulnerable after a crash or whose vehicle has been towed from private property.
Transport Affordability Amendment Bill 2026
This bill introduces two transport affordability measures for Queenslanders. It creates a fuel price cap system that limits daily petrol price increases to 5 cents per litre and requires retailers to lock in next-day prices by 2pm. It also protects 50-cent public transport fares by requiring any future increase to be approved by a vote in Parliament.
