Local Government plays a very significant role in building control. It implements, administers and enforces building legislation at a local level. The services provided through local government protect the community from major risks to life and property. Its importance in ensuring a safe building system in Queensland cannot be overstated.

Council’s are required to have a formal building function but there are Councils that refer members of the public to a private organisation to undertake building functions.  Should you require any information on building services or regulations, your local Council is a good place to start.
