As Minister for Sport, moved the second reading and outlined the bill's key amendments: extending Gold Coast stadium concert curfews to 10:30pm, increasing ticket scalping penalties, modernising Stadiums Queensland governance, and adding Olympic infrastructure projects. Also moved amendments to the Racing Act and Brisbane Olympic Games Arrangements Act.
“This bill ends the era of archaic inconsistency with our stadiums. The new regulatory framework would effectively allow for concerts at these venues to be held until the industry standard of 10.30 pm instead of the current 10.00 pm curfew.”— 2026-02-12View Hansard
