From www.claytonutz.com: Amendments to Queensland’s Land Act 1994 in 2024 expanded the scope for trustees of trust land to undertake actions that may conflict with the original purpose of the land, while still requiring management in line with that purpose.

The changes allow trustees, particularly if they are state or statutory bodies, to engage in inconsistent actions through a management plan that ensures such actions do not diminish the land’s intended purpose or adversely affect public interest.

Trustees must maintain their primary function of managing the trust land consistently with its dedicated purposes, despite the newfound flexibility afforded by the amendments.
