Brisbane: Olympics Boom, Contractor Shortage, QBCC Strict
Council permits take 4-6 weeks. Real issue: Olympics construction boom created massive contractor shortage. Quality firms book 4-6 months out, busy areas (Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane) book 6+ months. Costs: $35-$62/sqft AUD and rising.
Brisbane realities:
- CBD/Fortitude Valley: Highest demand, longest waits. Olympic infrastructure competing for same labor pool. Expect premium pricing.
- South Brisbane/Woolloongabba: Olympics precinct driving massive development. Contractor availability terrible—book 6+ months or look elsewhere.
- Suburbs (Newstead, Bowen Hills): Slightly better availability but still tight. Creative office conversions common.
QBCC licensing strictly enforced—verify contractor holds proper license class. Subtropical climate: humidity control critical (mold issues if done wrong). Summer storms (Nov-Mar) delay deliveries—buffer schedule. Olympics driving costs up 15-20% annually.
Why Brisbane is Unique
Brisbane City Council issues permits in 4-6 weeks. Olympics construction boom created contractor shortage—quality firms book 4-6 months ahead, sometimes longer. QBCC licensing enforcement strict (verify before hiring). Subtropical climate demands proper HVAC design—humidity control critical. Summer storms (Nov-Mar) can delay material deliveries.
