What matters for building & renovation in Brisbane

  • Queensland sets its asbestos transport threshold at 175kg, which is roughly a fifth of a household trailer of flat asbestos cement sheet. Above that you need an environmental authority for regulated waste transport, and commercial operators must track any quantity at all.

  • Queensland uses a different cut-off date from every other state. An asbestos register is not required if the workplace building was constructed after 31 December 1989 and no asbestos has been identified or is likely to be present. Everywhere else the date is 31 December 2003.

  • Before demolition, refurbishment, maintenance or service work in Queensland, the register must be reviewed for buildings built before 31 December 1989 and for non-building structures and plant installed before 31 December 2003. The contractor must obtain a copy before starting, and if there is no register the structure has to be inspected first.

  • Queensland uses an Occupier Statement rather than an owner's statement. Under section 55A of the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 the occupier prepares it about the maintenance of each prescribed fire safety installation, gives a copy to the Commissioner within 10 business days, and keeps a copy with the maintenance record for two years.
