01What changes in Brisbane
The Queensland Building and Construction Commission lists Painting and Decorating as an available licence class, and its technical qualification material distinguishes the full class from a class excluding applying cement render.
That difference matters when an enquiry includes damaged render, texture coating or broader facade repair: the advertisement and follow-up should not imply that every painter is authorised for every substrate repair. Brisbane, Logan, Redlands, Moreton Bay and Ipswich also cover a large, weather-exposed market, so campaigns can qualify the side of the city, storeys, shade, moisture symptoms and customer timing before a site visit.
Queensland WorkSafe warns that lead-based paint is likely in many pre-1970 homes and advises testing layers rather than assuming a single surface swab settles the issue. Accordingly, an older-home offer should discuss professional assessment and dust control, not invite the homeowner to power-sand a patch or promise complete stripping in a headline.
