New and proposed regulations

Treasury is committed to a competitive regulatory framework that supports Queensland’s economy and encourages investment, while ensuring necessary community and environmental safeguards are maintained.

Queensland’s regulatory review framework is set out in the Queensland Government Better Regulation Policy, and outlines the Regulatory Impact Analysis process that must be undertaken for all new and amending regulation.

Impact Analysis Statements

Under the Policy, an Impact Analysis Statement (IAS) is required for all regulatory proposals.

Approved Treasury IASs are published below.
