What matters for inspections & compliance in Sunshine Coast

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A Queensland tenant who occupies the building signs the Occupier Statement, not the landlord. The owner only signs if the owner occupies the building or it is unoccupied, and a body corporate signs through an authorised representative.

  • Queensland has its own rules for building in a flood hazard area in Queensland Development Code MP 3.5, on top of the National Construction Code. Your council sets the defined flood level and the minimum habitable floor height for your lot.
