QBCC suspends 136 licences in May for not meeting financial reporting obligations

From pool installers and painters to bricklayers and roofers, the QBCC has named 99 construction licencees currently suspended. SEE THE FULL LIST

Nearly 100 builders across a range of industries have been named by the construction watchdog as having their licences suspended for failing to submit financial information.

From pool installers and painters to bricklayers and roofers, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission said it suspended 136 licences in the last month, but some had since met requirements leaving 99 licences still suspended meaning they must stop work.

The QBCC said the majority of licensees had complied with new laws requiring all building and construction licensees to prove their financial viability annually.

QBCC Commissioner Brett Bassett said the deadline for these licensees to provide the

building industry watchdog with their information was 31 December 2020.

“It’s important that the QBCC ensures a level playing field for those who do the right thing

and who have lodged their financial information as required by law,” Mr Bassett said.

“After numerous opportunities to submit, and following a thorough regulatory process, the

QBCC had no choice but to suspend a total of 136 licences last month,” he said.

“If the majority of licensees can meet their obligations by lodging, it’s appropriate that we

take this action against those who have failed to comply with these important requirements.

“These licensees have an allowable annual turnover of between $800,001 and $30 million,

they are medium to large companies with a considerable footprint.”

Mr Bassett said all of these businesses were required to stop work, under their licence

suspension, and if they continued to work they could risk further regulatory action. The

licensees must submit their financial information for the suspension to be lifted.

“In a building boom like we’re seeing, it’s imperative that when a homeowner hires a builder

or a tradie, they know that the job will be completed,” he said.

“We see the devastation of company collapses and the impact they have on consumers who

are left with incomplete projects or homes, we also see the devastation insolvencies have on

subcontractors who are owed money.”
