The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) administers the Queensland Government’s regulatory review requirements, which aim to ensure regulation is necessary, well-designed and fit-for-purpose.
The OBPR delivers training and guidance, provides formal advice on the quality of regulatory review, and oversees the regulator performance framework.
Regulatory review is intended to improve the quality of regulation through a robust, transparent and evidence-based process to identify the option that effectively addresses the policy problem and maximises the net benefit to the community.
Here you will find the Queensland Government Guide to Better Regulation, guidance notes with more detail on key steps of regulatory impact analysis, and templates to help present a regulatory proposal for assessment.
Transparency is a key element of the regulatory review process. Once approved by the portfolio Minister or Cabinet, the OBPR publishes the Regulatory Impact Statement and its final letter of advice on this website.
The Commission has an oversight role in supporting implementation of the framework. Visit this page to learn more about the framework, and to access completed regulator performance reports.
