FAQ About Plumbers in Moreton Bay
Does a plumber in Queensland need a licence?
Yes, for most work. The QBCC lists three categories of regulated plumbing and drainage work: permit work, notifiable work and minor work. All three must be done by a QBCC licensed plumber or drainer. Minor work, such as unblocking a drain or repairing a broken pipe, still needs a licensee, even though it does not need council approval.
What plumbing can I do myself?
Only a short list of unregulated jobs. The QBCC unregulated plumbing guide includes replacing a shower head, replacing a jumper valve or washer in a tap, and replacing a washer in a toilet cistern. The work must still meet the minimum standards in the legislation and codes. Anything outside that list needs a licensed plumber.
What is notifiable plumbing work?
It is work a plumber can do without a council permit, but it must be registered with the QBCC. The QBCC says notifiable work must be registered within 10 business days of the invoice being issued. It covers most work in existing buildings. You can search the QBCC notifiable work register by address to see whether it was lodged.
Does a plumber need a separate licence for gas?
Yes. The QBCC explains that gasfitting needs its own occupational licence, issued by the Chief Gas Examiner and Resources Safety and Health Queensland. If your job involves a gas hot water system or a gas cooktop, ask for the gas work licence number as well as the QBCC number.
