Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991
LegislationReferenced in 6 bills
Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill strengthens protections for subcontractors in the building industry who often go unpaid. It extends Project Bank Account requirements to more contracts, gives new tools to recover unpaid money, improves QBCC enforcement powers, and strengthens regulation of building certifiers, architects and engineers.
Building and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises Queensland's building and construction laws across multiple areas. It clarifies homeowners' rights to install solar panels without aesthetic restrictions, expands greywater use in large buildings, strengthens QBCC's regulatory powers, and updates security of payment protections for subcontractors.
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. It also streamlines workplace safety reporting so that building industry licensees only need to notify one regulator of safety incidents, rather than reporting the same incident to both the QBCC and workplace safety regulators.
Body Corporate and Community Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's body corporate laws in several significant ways. It creates a new process for terminating ageing or uneconomic apartment and unit schemes with 75% owner support, protecting dissenting owners with fair compensation. It restricts developers from using sunset clauses to cancel 'off the plan' contracts, and modernises everyday rules around smoking, pets and parking in strata schemes.
Plumbing and Drainage Bill 2018
This bill modernises Queensland's plumbing and drainage laws by replacing the 2002 Act with a streamlined framework. It creates four categories of plumbing work with different approval requirements, introduces a new mechanical services licence for air-conditioning and medical gas work, and strengthens penalties for unlicensed or defective work to better protect public health and safety.
Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill simplifies Queensland's payment protection rules for building subcontractors and implements governance reforms for the building industry regulator. It clarifies trust account requirements, makes the QBCC Board more transparent, and streamlines licensing processes for builders and trades.
