Rules and legislation
Queensland Government legislation regulates whether you have the right to appeal a decision to, or seek a ruling from, the Planning and Environment Court (P and E Court), as well as the process you need to follow.
The P and E Court’s powers and procedures are also regulated by state legislation.
