QLD building product safety laws

The QLD Government has passed new chain of responsibility laws for dangerous building products under the Building and Construction Legislation (Non-Conforming Building Products-Chain of Responsibility) Amendment Act 2017. The Act will help ensure building products are safe and fit for their intended use, as well as expand the powers of the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. Commencement of the Act is yet to be proclaimed. More here and here.
