The state rules don’t change at the council boundary, and our Brisbane electrician page sets them out in full: electrical work is licensed by the Electrical Safety Office, a business needs an electrical contractor licence to contract for jobs, and section 188 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026 decides what your advertising has to show. Energex runs the network here, as it does across South East Queensland. What’s different in Moreton Bay is the map, the growth and the weather.
The map first. The City of Moreton Bay was formed in 2008 from the former City of Redcliffe and the Pine Rivers and Caboolture shires, and took its present name in July 2023. Council counts 94 suburbs across more than 2,045 square kilometres, with 294 kilometres of coastline and waterways, and the city is split into 12 divisions. That’s far too much ground to promise as a single area. We’d set your service area out as the peninsula (Redcliffe, Scarborough, Margate, Kippa-Ring) with Deception Bay next door, the Pine Rivers side (Strathpine, Petrie, Kallangur, Mango Hill, North Lakes), the Caboolture side (Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary, Narangba, Beachmere), Bribie Island and the rural west, and keep only the groups you actually drive to.
Then the growth. Council expects about 200,000 more people to call Moreton Bay home over the next 20 years. North Lakes, started in 1999 as a master-planned community in the Mango Hill area, had 23,030 residents at the 2021 census, and the next big front is Waraba, a priority development area declared in August 2024 west of Bellmere and south of the D’Aguilar Highway, planned for 30,000 homes and about 70,000 people. Each of those houses needs an electrician for the builder, and owners who want more than the builder supplied go looking for one again once they’ve moved in. A site that speaks to both in separate sections is easier for each of them to use.
Then the weather. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred made landfall in March 2025 after stalling near Bribie Island, and the outages that followed stretched across the south-east. Council’s Flood Check property report and the Moreton Bay Flood Viewer give the flood information for a particular address, which is worth linking from a page about raising switchboards or storm repairs so owners can check their own property before they call.
We’re an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and work with Moreton Bay businesses by phone and email. You send your licence details, the suburbs you cover and a handful of job photos; we send back a draft link you can open on your phone between jobs, and you pay only once you’re happy with it.
