Plumbing and Drainage Bill 2018
This bill replaces Queensland's 16-year-old plumbing and drainage laws with a modern framework. It simplifies the approval process by creating four clear categories of plumbing work, strengthens penalties for unlicensed and defective work, and introduces a new licence for mechanical services workers who install heating, cooling and medical gas systems.
Plumbing and Drainage Bill 2017
This bill replaces Queensland's Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002 with a new Plumbing and Drainage Act 2017, modernising how plumbing work is regulated. It streamlines how plumbing work is approved, toughens penalties for unlicensed work, and creates a new mechanical services licence that covers heating, air-conditioning and medical gas work in large buildings and hospitals.
Plumbing and Drainage and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill sets up a new plumbing industry regulator inside the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, strengthens protections for renters against unfair tenancy database listings, lets community housing providers give tenancy guarantees to private landlords, and confirms that public housing development has been lawfully carried out.
