Stadiums Queensland
OrganisationReferenced in 4 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.
Queensland Academy of Sport Bill 2025
This bill establishes the Queensland Academy of Sport as an independent statutory body, removing it from the Department of Sport, Racing and Olympic and Paralympic Games. The change is designed to give the Academy the agility, operational independence, and financial flexibility it needs to prepare Queensland athletes for success at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Major Sports Facilities Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises how Stadiums Queensland, the body that manages the state's major sports venues, is governed and operates. It implements six recommendations from the Stadium Taskforce, which was set up in 2018 after venue hirers raised concerns about costs, operations and infrastructure at stadiums across Queensland.
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.
