About the Bill
On 5 March 2013, Hon Andrew Cripps MP, Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, introduced the Land, Water and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2013 (the Bill). In accordance with Standing Order 131, the Bill has been referred to the Agriculture, Resources and Environment Committee.
The committee will examine the policies the Bill seeks to give effect to, the Bill’s lawfulness, and the application of fundamental legislative principles, as set out in section 4 of the Legislative Standards Act 1992.
The committee must report to Parliament on the Bill by 23 April 2013.
The Bill has seven major policy objectives which support and implement a number of commitments made by the Queensland Government:
- Progressing the recommendations of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry that relate to levees
- Reduce red tape and regulation
- Facilitate the conversion of water authorities to two tier co-operative structures
- Address concerns raised by stakeholders during the committee hearing on 10 August 2012 into the Mines Legislation (Streamlining) Amendment Act 2012 regarding pipelines carrying produced water
- Clarify an amendment made to the Regional Vegetation Management Code in 2009
- Extend timelines for the interim assessment process for water and sewerage issues for South-East Queensland Distributor-retailers and their owner councils until 1 March 2014, and
- Implement a number of other miscellaneous amendments to address operational issues necessary to provide for continued effective implementation of a range of legislation.
