Mains gas, LPG bottles and outdoor kitchens

Gas is less universal in Brisbane than in the southern capitals — many homes run on electricity, and others use bottled LPG for cooking, hot water or an outdoor kitchen. Whichever you have, a gas fitter must connect and test the appliance. Tell them whether you have mains gas or bottles, and the age and position of any existing regulator and hoses.

Before you hire a gas fitting in Brisbane

Ask for the gas fitting licence or registration number and check the work category.
Send a photo of the appliance, its model label and the existing connection.
Ask whether the quote includes testing, parts and any required compliance record.
If you suspect a gas leak, stop using the appliance and contact your gas emergency service.

In Brisbane, gas fitting licences are issued by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC); you can look a licence number up on its website.
