Just Announced: QBCC Freezes Licence Fees

June 20, 2024

Every year, Queensland builders and tradespeople brace themselves for the annual increase in Government fees and charges.

Historically, these fees rise on July 1st, reflecting legislative requirements and indexation. However, 2024 brings a welcomed and significant change.

This year, QBCC licence fees will be frozen at their current levels for the entire financial year. This freeze is set to provide much-needed relief to many, easing cost-of-living pressures across the state.

From July 1, 2024, QBCC licence fees will remain at their current levels for one year and reviewed again come 1 July 2025. This decision to freeze the fees aims to ease costs to Queenslanders, particularly those in the construction and building industry.

At Construction Licensing we too are going to get behind QBCC’s lead and freeze our consulting fees during 2024. Let’s hope other State and Territory licensing authorities follow suit.

We have just completed a journey of some 9 months with Construction Licensing's team, Yasmine and Rebecca.It has ended in complete success, with my husband … More Gordon, now the holder of his Builders Low Rise Licence (obtained in April), and Building Inspector's License (obtained in September on Friday 13th!).Gordon had all the skills, certificates, and expertise for both licenses, but what we lacked was the ability to navigate the QBCC’s unseen requirements and paperwork. The details that aren’t asked for on the their forms! Construction Licensing supported us with this professional knowledge and insight, and guided us, step by step through the application process.From my first contact with Rebecca, to Yasmine's lengthy and ongoing case work with us both, offering support, guidance, co-ordination and from time to time emotional counselling (LOL), Construction Licensing have taken the details that we had gathered together, and helped us get them into a format that clearly showcased Gordon’s skills, professionalism and abilities to hold the licenses he was applying for.Gordon and I cannot recommend Construction licensing highly enough to anyone who needs help navigating the sometimes murky waters of licensing paperwork.It was an absolute pleasure to deal with you Yasmine and Rebecca. Thank you so much, warmest thanks,Emma and Gordon.
