Bills Introduced (1)

Queensland Building and Construction Commission and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025

Passed

This bill modernises Queensland's building and construction licensing framework to support digital licences and electronic communications. It removes the requirement for the QBCC to issue licences as physical cards, allows documents to be served electronically, and streamlines safety incident reporting so licensees only need to notify one regulator instead of two.
