Building Act 1975

This section applies if, under this part, QBCC is considering whether an applicant for, or for the renewal of, a licence or a licence holder is a suitable person to hold a licence.

QBCC must consider each of the following—

whether the applicant or holder has been convicted of a relevant offence;

whether the applicant or holder has previously been refused a licence, or has had a licence suspended or cancelled, under this Act or another relevant Act;

whether the applicant or holder has, under another relevant Act, been disqualified from holding a licence under that Act;

dealings in which the applicant or holder has been involved and the standard of honesty and integrity demonstrated in the dealings;

any failure by the applicant or holder to carry out statutory obligations relating to building or private certifying functions, and the reasons for the failure;

whether the applicant or holder holds a current accreditation issued by an accreditation standards body;

if the applicant or holder does not hold a current accreditation issued by an accreditation standards body—whether the applicant or holder has qualifications and experience prescribed under section 155;

whether the applicant or holder is a disqualified individual;

all other relevant circumstances.

A person is not a suitable person to hold a licence if the person is a disqualified individual.
