This bill authorises $5.14 million in supplementary funding for Queensland Parliament to cover unforeseen expenditure during the 2017-18 financial year. It formally approves spending that has already occurred, as required by the Queensland Constitution.

This bill authorises $494.9 million in supplementary funding for seven Queensland Government departments to cover unforeseen spending during the 2017-18 financial year. The expenditure has already occurred, and this bill provides the formal parliamentary approval required under the Queensland Constitution.

This bill bundles three unrelated changes. It stops council CEOs from automatically running their own council's elections, delays the national heavy vehicle registration scheme until 1 July 2018, and extends the Queensland Reconstruction Authority past its original 2015 expiry date so it can keep helping disaster-hit communities.

This bill bundles a series of changes to Queensland transport laws. It lowers the age for the state proof-of-age card from 18 to 15 and renames it the 'photo identification card', lets people apply for many transport products online instead of on paper forms, tightens rules that stop people convicted of attempted rape from driving taxis and buses, and updates public transport enforcement, dangerous goods and road works rules.

This bill amends a wide range of Queensland legislation covering tax administration, electronic property conveyancing, fine enforcement, alcohol restrictions in Indigenous communities, cultural heritage protections, and the Cross River Rail project. It is administered by the Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships.

This bill authorised approximately $4.8 billion in emergency funding for Queensland's COVID-19 response. It provided $3.18 billion in supplementary spending for 2019-20 and $1.61 billion in interim supply for 2020-21 to protect jobs and support the economy during the pandemic.

This bill authorises $639,000 in supplementary funding for the Queensland Parliament to cover unforeseen expenditure during the 2018-19 financial year. It is a routine budget measure that formally approves spending already incurred, as required by the Queensland Constitution.

This bill provides formal Parliamentary approval for $1.397 billion in supplementary government spending that occurred during 2018-19. The spending exceeded the original 2018 Budget and was initially authorised by the Governor in Council, but Queensland's Constitution requires all government expenditure from the Consolidated Fund to be approved by Parliament.

This bill creates Building Queensland, an independent statutory body that provides expert advice to the Queensland Government on major infrastructure projects. It is modelled on the Commonwealth's Infrastructure Australia and was a 2015 election commitment. The body will assess business cases, publish cost-benefit analysis summaries, and maintain a priority pipeline of infrastructure proposals.

This bill updates the Heavy Vehicle National Law to allow truck drivers to use electronic work diaries instead of paper records, and rewrites penalties so similar offences attract similar fines across Australia. It also creates new offences for tampering with modification plates and for using oversize vehicles without authority, and makes a range of smaller clarifying and enforcement changes.

This bill makes several technical fixes to Queensland's local government and planning laws. It gives councils up to two more years to adopt infrastructure plans, lets developers skip offset and refund details to speed up approvals, and cleans up inconsistencies around how-to-vote cards and outdated mayoral voting rules.

This bill reinstates stronger vegetation clearing laws to slow land clearing and protect the Great Barrier Reef. It re-regulates high-value regrowth on freehold and indigenous land, stops new approvals for clearing native vegetation for high-value agriculture, and brings back riverine protection permits for destroying vegetation in waterways. Key clearing rules apply retrospectively from 17 March 2016 to prevent a rush of pre-emptive clearing.

This bill updates Queensland's rules for when businesses can access major infrastructure like rail networks, coal terminals, and ports. It aligns the state's access regime with national competition standards following reviews by the Productivity Commission and the federal Competition Policy Review, and makes the Queensland Competition Authority more accountable when processing applications.

This bill creates a new Financial Provisioning Scheme for Queensland's mining and energy sector, replacing the old financial assurance system. It establishes a pooled fund where companies pay risk-based contributions, and introduces enforceable Progressive Rehabilitation and Closure Plans to ensure mined land is progressively restored during and after mining operations.

This bill makes it a criminal offence to engage in 'claim farming' — the practice of cold-calling Queenslanders after car accidents and pressuring them to make CTP insurance claims, then selling their details to lawyers for a fee. It also strengthens the Motor Accident Insurance Commission's powers to investigate law practices involved in claim farming.

This bill provides the annual budget for Queensland Parliament. It authorises the Treasurer to pay $97.2 million from the consolidated fund for the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service in 2018-19, plus $48.6 million in interim supply for early 2019-20.

This bill authorises the Queensland Government to spend $53.2 billion from the Consolidated Fund in the 2018-19 financial year. It is the annual appropriation bill that gives every government department legal authority to access its budget allocation for delivering public services including health, education, transport, policing, and community support.

This bill makes changes across several Queensland revenue laws to implement 2017 election commitments and 2018-19 Budget measures. It increases duties on foreign property buyers and luxury vehicles, extends the boosted First Home Owner Grant, raises land tax on large landholdings, extends the payroll tax rebate for apprentice and trainee wages, modernises the primary production land tax exemption, validates historical mining royalty assessments, and enables electronic delivery of land tax documents.

This bill introduces a 15% point-of-consumption betting tax on the net wagering revenue that betting operators earn from customers located in Queensland. It replaces the old wagering tax (which was based on where the operator was located) and brings Queensland into line with similar taxes in South Australia and Victoria.

This bill replaces Queensland's entire planning and development system with a simpler framework, repealing the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and introducing a new Planning Act. It reduces red tape, streamlines how councils make planning schemes, clarifies the rules for approving or refusing development applications, and increases penalties for breaking planning laws.

This bill gives the Planning and Environment Court its own stand-alone Act instead of being buried inside the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. It keeps the existing court running, pairs with the Planning Bill 2015 to handle development disputes, and encourages more use of mediation and other alternative dispute resolution to settle cases faster and more cheaply.

This bill updates 68 other Queensland laws so they work with the new Planning Act 2016 and Planning and Environment Court Act 2016, which together replace the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. It mostly changes terminology and cross-references, removes duplicated or outdated planning steps, and sets transitional rules so any application already lodged is finished under the old system.

This bill provides the annual budget for Queensland's Parliament. It appropriates $100 million for the 2019-20 financial year to fund the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service, and provides $50 million in interim supply for 2020-21 so Parliament can keep operating until the next budget is passed.

This bill authorises the Queensland Government to spend $54.7 billion from the Consolidated Fund for the 2019-20 financial year. It is the standard annual appropriation bill that gives 28 government departments and agencies the legal authority to spend their allocated budgets on services for Queenslanders, and provides interim supply of $27.3 billion for 2020-21.

This bill implements 2019-20 Queensland Budget revenue measures across land tax, payroll tax, and petroleum royalties. It raises the payroll tax exemption threshold to help smaller businesses, introduces a higher payroll tax rate for large employers, increases land tax on large corporate landholdings and foreign owners, lifts the petroleum royalty rate, and provides a payroll tax discount for regional employers.

This bill sets up the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority, a new independent statutory body to build the Cross River Rail project connecting Brisbane across the river by underground rail. The Authority will operate commercially, with power to compulsorily acquire land and to drive economic development around new stations, and will be wound up once the project is complete.

This bill tightens the rules for money in Queensland local council elections and makes a range of technical fixes to planning and building laws. It lowers the donation disclosure threshold to $500, paves the way for real-time online donation reporting, and clarifies when council approval is needed alongside a private certifier's approval for building work.
