Land Act 1994

The Minister may make model by-laws for trust land.

The chief executive must publish a model by-law made under subsection (1) on a Queensland government website.

Without limiting subsection (1), a model by-law may be made about the following matters—

the protection and use of trust land, including buildings on trust land;

regulating the business and management of trusts;

penalties, not more than 100 penalty units, for the contravention of a model by-law.

A model by-law may state that all or part of trust land is a public place within the meaning of an Act—

conferring or imposing on police officers powers or duties about public places; or

providing for the punishment of offences committed in public places.

If a local government is the trustee it may—

make local laws for the trust land under the Local Government Act 2009 or the City of Brisbane Act 2010; and

adopt a model by-law.

If a local government adopts a model by-law, it must follow the procedure under the Local Government Act 2009 for adopting a model local law when it adopts the model by-law.

A local law made under subsection (4)(a) must not be inconsistent with this Act.

A trustee other than a local government, in the way prescribed under the regulations, may adopt as its by-laws all or any of the model by-laws.

A model by-law has no effect unless it is adopted in the prescribed way.

In a proceeding, a copy of a public notice about the adoption of a model by-law is—

evidence of the information in the notice; and

evidence that the model by-law had been properly adopted.

In this section—Queensland government website means a website with a URL that contains ‘qld.gov.au’, other than the website of a local government.
