Queensland Building and Construction Commission and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill modernises the Queensland Building and Construction Commission by removing the requirement for physical licence cards and enabling digital alternatives via the Queensland Digital Licence app. It also allows the QBCC to serve documents electronically and streamlines workplace safety reporting so that building industry licensees only need to notify one regulator of serious safety incidents, rather than reporting the same incident to both the QBCC and workplace safety regulators.
Electricity and Other Legislation (Batteries and Premium Feed-in Tariff) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes three changes to Queensland's electricity laws: it sets clear rules so Solar Bonus Scheme customers can add batteries without losing their 44c/kWh feed-in tariff, it lets apartment and caravan park residents choose their own electricity retailer, and it allows regional households and small businesses to return to Ergon Retail after switching to a private retailer.
Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill clarifies and simplifies the trust account framework that protects subcontractor payments in Queensland's building and construction industry. It also implements governance reforms for the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, transfers qualification-setting powers to the department, and makes regulatory improvements across six building industry Acts.
