Tradie Tour March 2021 – For what you need to know
In this tour, we presented two important sessions covering one of our top ten defects, plasterboard, with the second session focusing on annual financial reporting lodgement and new laws for Queensland.

The second part of the session provided high-level information on new laws for Queensland, including:

Tradie Tour - storm season
This Tradie Tour was all about getting you ready for storm season. It provided information about building and construction in cyclone-prone regions, and how best to retrofit older homes to reduce damage from cyclones and storms in our live webinar.
The guest speaker was Dr David Henderson, Senior Research Engineer from the Cyclone Testing Station at James Cook University, Townsville.
Dr Henderson talked about:
- the performance of modern buildings in Tropical Cyclone (TC) Marcia and TC Debbie, including:
- changes to codes and standards
- surveyed design and construction issues
- damage from wind driven rainwater ingress
- retrofitting of older homes to reduce damage from cyclones and storms.
QBCC Building Inspectors also offered tips on how to better prepare your building sites in the event of a storm, how you can recover faster from storms and cyclones, and considerations when building in higher wind areas.
