Fee increase
On 1 July 2024, most fees were frozen at their current level for 1 year to ease cost-of-living pressures for Queenslanders.
Inspection fees have increased by 3.4%. The freeze does not apply to this fee as this is collected by private inspection providers.
You can contact [email protected] to find out more about the increases on specific fees.
