Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority Bill 2026
This bill establishes the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, a new statutory body to plan for and manage the region's waterways from Pumicestone Passage to the Noosa River. It responds to community concerns about fragmented waterway management across multiple councils and State agencies, particularly around the Bribie Island breakthrough. The authority will manage infrastructure, navigational access, and sand and sediment movement, with $35.6 million in government funding over three years.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Bill 2021
This bill establishes the Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games as an independent statutory body. The committee is responsible for planning, organising, promoting and financially managing the Games, with a board of directors representing government, sporting bodies, athletes and independent members.
Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland's road safety laws, mostly targeting drink and drug driving with a new combined offence, higher penalties, minimum court fines, and a compulsory education program for drug drivers. It also introduces on-the-spot licence suspensions for high-range speeding caught by police, lets drivers nominate the actual offending passenger for camera-detected seatbelt fines, and stops private car park operators from using the vehicle register to chase parking debts.
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.
