News Dreamworld disaster: Where now for embattled park by Jessica Marszalek 25th Feb 2020 5:01 AM Premium Content Subscriber only <p> </p> <p> A DECISION on whether to lay criminal charges against Dreamworld and its staff will be made within a year, as theme park visitors are being assured of their safety following a major overhaul of the embattled industry. </p> <p style="letter-spacing:0.0em;"> Work Health and Safety independent prosecutor Aaron Guilfoyle is considering whether anyone will face major criminal charges relating to reckless or serious breaches of work health and safety laws after a referral from the coroner. </p> <p> The penalties include fines of up to $3 million for companies and up to $600,000 or five years' jail for individuals. </p> <p> It is understood that he won't consider industrial manslaughter charges, also brought in after the Dreamworld tragedy, as they relate to the death of a worker caused by a company's actions. </p> <p> Industrial Relations Minister Grace Grace said Mr Guilfoyle had 12 months to decide whether to prosecute. </p> <p> However it is not expected to take that long, with the coroner's report already considered a solid investigation of the facts. </p> <p> "Obviously he has a lot of pages to read, a lot of evidence that was presented," she said. </p> <p> "He's a very experienced prosecutor and I'm sure that as soon as a decision is made, he will lay whatever breaches is necessary." </p> <p> It comes as Ms Grace assured people visiting theme parks this week they had nothing to fear, despite the scathing findings in yesterday's coroner's report into the Dreamworld deaths. </p> <p> "The regulations that we have brought in three years ago are extensive," she said. </p> <p> "It has all of the checks and the recommendations that the coroner handed down. </p> <p> "All of the theme parks are audited every year, they've been audited in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and they were audited soon after the tragedy at Dreamworld because we want to ensure public confidence." </p> <p> Ms Grace said Queensland theme parks now had the highest levels of safety internationally. </p> <p> "I can assure the public that we will ensure that that is maintained at these theme parks," she said. </p> <p> </p> <div class="recurring-inline-align" data-overlay-marker='{"edit_url":
