Overview
The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) has published its Strategic Plan covering 2026 to 2030. The document sets out the QBCC's regulatory priorities and intended direction over the four-year period. This is a planning document - no immediate compliance obligations or deadlines apply to businesses.
Four Priority Areas
The Strategic Plan is structured around four areas:
- Protecting consumers
- Improving licensing and digital services
- Strengthening enforcement
- Building internal workforce capability
Regulatory Model
The plan signals that the QBCC intends to move toward a risk-based, intelligence-led regulatory model. It also indicates plans to improve transparency in how the QBCC makes regulatory decisions.
Digital Licensing Platforms
The QBCC plans to upgrade its digital licensing platforms and improve customer-facing systems to make licensing easier to manage online.
Consumer Complaints and Dispute Resolution
The QBCC is prioritising earlier intervention and more transparent dispute resolution processes over the next four years.
