The trading hours of shops in Queensland are regulated by the Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990 and supported by the Trading (Allowable Hours) Regulation 2014.
There is currently a moratorium on the creation and amendment of trading hours within Queensland. However, shops operating within a specified area for an event which is declared to be a "special event" are, for the declared period, exempt shops and may trade for the entirety of the period.
