Building Act 1975

QBCC must keep a register of building certifiers.

The register may be kept in the way QBCC considers appropriate, including, for example, in an electronic form.

The register must contain the following particulars for each building certifier—

their name, licence number and business contact details;

the following information about their licence—

its day of issue and expiry;

any endorsements on the licence;

its level;

if conditions are imposed on the licence—the conditions;

details of their eligibility for licensing as a building certifier;

if, under section 204(1), QBCC decides the building certifier has engaged in unsatisfactory conduct—

details of the decision; and

details of the further decision required under section 204(4);

if the tribunal makes an order about the building certifier—details of the order, other than any details identified in the order as details not to be included in the register;

any demerit points allocated to the building certifier, the demerit offences for which they were allocated and the dates the points took effect;

if the building certifier has been a disqualified individual—details of the circumstances that led to the disqualification.

However, QBCC may decide not to record, under subsection (3)(d), particulars about unsatisfactory conduct engaged in by a building certifier if QBCC is satisfied the conduct has not—

compromised the health and safety of a person; or

had a direct detrimental impact on another person, including, for example, a client or owner of a building for whom building certifying functions or private certifying functions are performed.

Particulars recorded under subsection (3)(d) must be removed from the register 5 years after they were recorded in the register.

Particulars recorded under subsection (3)(e) must be removed from the register at the end of the period during which the order states the details are to be included in the register.
