Why QBCC Licensing Matters for Your Project

In Queensland, any structural landscaping work valued over $3,300 (including GST) legally requires a QBCC licence. This covers retaining walls, decking, pergolas, major fencing works, and concrete driveways. Working with unlicensed contractors puts you at risk — you may not be covered by statutory warranty protections and could face issues with insurance claims or future property sales.

Before you book, ask the builder for their QBCC licence number and check it on the QBCC online licence register to confirm it covers your type of work. Ask for a certificate of currency for their public liability insurance too.

Brisbane's hilly terrain, subtropical climate, and expansive clay soils make proper construction techniques essential. Qualified builders understand local conditions and council requirements, ensuring your outdoor structures are built to last.
