The reports align with the Compliance and Enforcement Strategy 2026–2030. They provide a high-level overview of the QBCC’s compliance and enforcement activities and explain what this work tells us about industry performance, emerging risks and opportunities for improvement.
Why we report
Regular reporting helps the QBCC:
- build trust in its regulatory decisions and actions
- demonstrate accountability to industry participants and the public
- shape emerging trends and recurring issues
- support continuous improvement across the building and construction industry
- strengthen collaboration with government and industry partners.
The QBCC publishes these reports twice a year. They show how education, targeted inspections, risk-based audits, dispute resolution and proportionate enforcement are used to support compliance and focus regulatory effort where the potential harm is greatest.
