From the Meter or Cylinder to the Appliance
Gas work, as the Queensland Government defines it, covers every task performed on a gas system: putting one in, taking one out, altering, repairing, servicing, testing and certifying. All the pipework and its connections count as part of the system. Queensland reserves every one of those tasks for licensed gasfitters.
The rules treat the two household fuel gases the same way: natural gas arriving by pipe from the street, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stored on site in cylinders or a tank.
Servicing counts as gas work too, which surprises plenty of owners:
- Cookers, barbecues and the like need a licensed gasfitter's eye at regular intervals.
- The manufacturer's instructions govern how each appliance is installed and used.
- Gas hot water units get their own coverage on the hot water plumbing page.
The housing here runs from weatherboard cottages near the station out through the 1960s-to-1980s subdivisions, so gas pipe runs cross every era of floor and wall construction. A run under a cottage floor off Old Dayboro Road takes longer to reach than one in an open garage on the Frenchs Road side of the suburb. We ask about the era before booking, because it changes how the pipework is reached.
Proof That a Gas Installation Is Compliant
The document is the gas system's compliance certificate. It certifies that an installation or alteration just finished meets the rules. The licensed gasfitter who did the work issues it to the owner straight away, on the day, not weeks later.
Two details around the certificate are worth knowing:
- Where your fuel gas comes from a network, its operator receives a copy within 5 days.
- The certificate belongs to installs and alterations; a routine service can finish without one.
Keep the certificate with your property records. Down the track, it is the paper trail showing the gasfitting was signed off by the right licence holder.
How to Check a Gas Fitter's Licence
Gas work belongs to licensed gasfitters alone, so ask for the gas work licence to be shown before anyone starts. A tradesperson who hesitates at that request has told you something useful.
Plumbing and drainage sits under the QBCC, which issues two licences for it. One is an occupational licence for doing the work, and the other is a contractor licence for running it as a business.
The QBCC also keeps online registers covering a plumber's licence and any Form 4 lodged for your address. Gas work sits on its own gas work licence, which is the one to ask about for anything from a bayonet to a cooktop swap.
What Decides the Price of Gas Work
The price of gas work turns on the job itself, access to the pipes, the number of gas outlets and a supply check where one applies. A fixed quote locks the price before tools come out.
Here is what sits behind each factor:
The job
a repair or service is smaller than a new installation, and each carries its own testing.
Access
a pipe run under a weatherboard floor near the old village costs more time on site than the same run in an open garage.
Gas outlets
every added point brings extra pipe, joints and testing before sign-off.
The supply check
where the job adds demand, the check covers cylinder storage and vaporisation for LPG, the meter's capacity, and whether the pipes are sized for the load.
Flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees apply across all of it, and the quote spells out what is included before a tool comes out of the bag.

Questions Owners Ask About Gas Work
Call (07) 3523 6484Can a plumber in Queensland legally install gas appliances?
Yes, provided the plumber is also a licensed gasfitter. Queensland reserves gas work for that licence, so a plumber without it cannot legally connect or alter an appliance.
How do I check a gas fitter's licence in Petrie?
Ask for the gas work licence to be shown before work begins. The QBCC keeps online registers covering a plumber's licence and any Form 4 lodged for your address.
What paperwork do I get after a new gas installation in Petrie?
A certificate confirming the finished work is compliant. The licensed gasfitter who completed the install or alteration issues it on the day, and a copy goes to the network operator inside 5 days where a network supplies the gas.
Should I call a gas fitter or my gas supplier about a leak?
Go outside and ring from there. Your gas bill carries the supplier's emergency number for faults on their side, and a licensed gasfitter handles the repairs on yours. See our page on gas leaks for the detail.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work?
Yes, we are licensed for plumbing and gasfitting, and every job is done by a licensed plumber.
Do the gas rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, both. Queensland's gas safety guidance treats piped natural gas and cylinder LPG alike, and one licensing regime covers them.
