Local Government (Empowering Councils) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025

Awaiting Debate

This bill reforms Queensland's local government laws to reduce red tape for councils, strengthen the role of mayors, overhaul the conflicts of interest and councillor conduct frameworks, and clarify rules around councillor pay, leave and eligibility. It also formalises rating exemptions for Indigenous councils and makes it easier for disaster-affected councils to act during election caretaker periods.
