Transport Operations (Road Use Management—Road Rules) Regulation 2009
LegislationReferenced in 6 bills
Emergency Services Reform Amendment Bill 2023
This bill restructures Queensland's emergency services by transferring the State Emergency Service and marine rescue functions from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services to the Queensland Police Service. It establishes a new State Disaster Management Group chaired by the Premier to provide faster strategic oversight during disasters, and makes consequential amendments across more than 20 pieces of legislation to ensure workers' compensation, civil liability protections, and Blue Card requirements continue for volunteers.
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.
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 Legislation (Disability Parking and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill expands Queensland's Disability Parking Permit Scheme to include people who are legally blind, and doubles the fine for misusing disability parking bays from $266 to $533. It also makes technical updates to rail safety definitions to align with national law.
Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026
This bill is Queensland's response to a near-doubling of e-mobility injuries and a parliamentary inquiry into e-bikes, e-scooters and personal mobility devices. It introduces a minimum riding age of 16 and a driver-licence requirement, creates new offences and strong police powers to seize and destroy illegal 'prohibited bikes', brings in drink-riding offences with breath testing, and makes parents, hire companies and retailers share responsibility for keeping children and pedestrians safe.
Heavy Vehicle National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill strengthens safety obligations for heavy vehicle businesses, increases penalties for driving offences that cause death or serious injury, and introduces several road safety improvements. It also establishes a national database of heavy vehicles and facilitates the transition from the Federal Interstate Registration Scheme to state-based registration.
