1Laying vinyl floor planks affixed by adhesive to an existing sub-floor falls within the s 30 schedule 1 QBCC Regulation exclusion from 'building work', consistent with Berkeley and [name withheld] — the use of adhesive does not take vinyl laying outside the exclusion.
2Where additional work such as laying plywood to create a new sub-floor is undertaken as part of a flooring contract, it is at least arguable that such work falls outside the s 30 exclusion and may constitute 'building work', but the question was left open for determination on full evidence.
3Where QCAT's jurisdiction over a building dispute is uncertain and the applicant also advances an ACL claim exceeding the minor civil dispute threshold, transfer to the Magistrates Court under s 52 of the QCAT Act is appropriate.
