Building and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises Queensland's building and construction laws across several areas. It strengthens homeowners' rights to install solar panels free from aesthetic restrictions by developers and body corporates, expands the use of treated greywater in large buildings, improves subcontractor payment protections, and gives the Queensland Building and Construction Commission stronger regulatory and enforcement powers.
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.
