Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority Bill 2026

This bill sets up the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, a new government body to plan for and manage the region's rivers, creeks, lakes and passages in one coordinated place. It must produce a 10-year strategy and yearly programs, manage navigational access and marine infrastructure, and monitor sand and sediment movement, while marine safety and pollution rules stay with Maritime Safety Queensland.
