All plumbing work in Queensland is regulated by State Government legislative requirements and is categorised as:
- Permit work
- Notifiable work
- Minor work
- Unregulated work
However, to accurately determine which category of plumbing work applies to a particular type of plumbing work, it is necessary to have regard to:
Whilst a permit is not necessary for notifiable, or minor work, the work must:
- comply with any applicable legislation
- be performed by an appropriately licensed person.
- be notified to the Queensland Building & Construction Commission (QBCC) (notifiable work only)
