Websites for Brisbane plumbers, drainers and gas fitters, whether you work out of Chermside, Sunnybank, Wynnum or Kenmore. Your QBCC licence line, the suburbs you’ll actually drive to, and a call button that’s on screen the moment someone with a burst pipe opens the page.
The City of Brisbane alone has more than 190 suburbs, and a customer in Bracken Ridge has no reason to ring a plumber who only works south of the river. Your site has three questions to answer quickly: does this plumber come to my street, are they licensed, and what’s the fastest way to reach them?
Brisbane’s suburbs are informally split into inner, northern, southern, eastern and western groups, so we set yours out the same way: Chermside, Nundah and Clayfield under the north, Annerley, Mount Gravatt and Sunnybank under the south, Wynnum, Manly and Carindale in the east, Toowong and Indooroopilly in the west.
The name your QBCC licence is held under, the licence number and a statement that you’re licensed under the QBCC Act (the QBCC’s own example reads “QBCC Licence No:” and the number), in the footer of every page. If you fit gas, your gas work licence sits beside it, so a customer booking a cooktop or gas hot water job can see both.
Owners of testable backflow devices in Brisbane get a council reminder each year to have them tested. If you hold the backflow endorsement, a section saying so, with a form asking for the site address and device type, gives those owners something specific to find and book.
Installing a water heater is notifiable work in Queensland, so the plumber lodges a Form 4 with the QBCC and hands the owner a copy. One sentence saying that’s part of every hot water job tells a careful customer the work will be on record.
On a phone, your number stays in a bar at the top of every page. Someone with water coming through a ceiling in Paddington will tap it before they read a word, and that tap is the whole job of the page for them.
A cleared sewer line in Annerley, a new hot water unit in Indooroopilly, a relined drain in Wilston. Short captions naming the suburb show you already work nearby, and they read far better than stock photos of a smiling plumber holding a wrench.
In Queensland, plumbing and drainage work needs a QBCC licence whatever the job is worth. Plumbers and drainers hold occupational licences, and specialist work is added as endorsements: backflow prevention, thermostatic mixing valves, solar and heat pump hot water, and fire protection. Customers can look a plumber up on the QBCC’s online register, so it pays to name the endorsements you hold on your site as well. Gas fitting is licensed twice over: a QBCC licence for gas fitting work, plus a separate occupational licence for gas work issued by the Chief Gas Examiner through Resources Safety and Health Queensland.
The QBCC treats your website, Facebook page, directory listings and ute signage as advertising. Each one has to carry the name your licence is held under (a trading name can appear, but only alongside it), your licence number and a statement that you’re licensed under the QBCC Act, all legible and reasonably prominent. Companies use the company name and company licence number. The QBCC logo is off limits, but linking to the QBCC website is allowed, so we can point customers to its licence search.
Two local bodies come up in Brisbane plumbing. Urban Utilities supplies water and sewerage across Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Somerset. Brisbane City Council runs the backflow prevention program: owners register each testable device, an endorsed tester submits the results on a Form 9, and at the start of each year council sends owners a registration fee notice and a reminder to have their devices tested by 31 December. An owner holding that reminder needs an endorsed tester, and a clear backflow section tells them you are one.
Notifiable work is the other piece of paperwork customers can check. After installing a water heater, the plumber lodges a Form 4 with the QBCC and gives the owner a copy, and owners can use the QBCC’s online registers to see whether a Form 4 has been lodged for their property. A plumber who mentions this on the hot water page is answering a question before the customer has to ask it.
The City of Brisbane has more residents than any other council area in Australia, about 1.24 million at the 2021 census, spread across 26 wards and roughly 1,343 square kilometres. Its neighbouring council areas are Moreton Bay, Somerset, Ipswich, Logan and Redland, and plenty of Brisbane plumbers cross those lines, so if your van is regularly in Springwood or North Lakes, list those suburbs too. We’re an Adelaide team at Hutt St and work with Queensland businesses by phone and email: you send your services, suburbs and a few job photos, and we send a draft link you can check between jobs.
Our plumbing client is in Queensland: M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas. We’ve put Bright Building & Renovations from Adelaide beside it, because its service-area pages show how a business covering a large metro area can be laid out, the way a Brisbane plumber working several sides of the river might need.
A licensed Queensland plumber and gas fitter. One page covers six services, with a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials, a spam-protected contact form and tap-to-call. Its services run from hot water and gas to drainage and backflow.

A licensed South Australian builder. We built 30 pages, including seven service pages and seven service-area pages, plus planning guides, a project gallery, an FAQ and a seven-step quote form. A larger Brisbane plumbing business could use the same structure for its north, south, east and west.

Yes. We’re based at Hutt St in Adelaide and work with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email. Our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, and our plumbing client, M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas, is in Queensland. You get a draft link to open on your phone, ask for as many changes as you like, and pay only once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.
The name your QBCC licence is held under, the licence number and a statement that you’re licensed under the QBCC Act. A trading name can appear, but only alongside the licensed name, and a company uses its company name and company licence number. We put this in the footer of every page so it’s there wherever a customer lands.
If you hold the backflow prevention endorsement and want commercial work, usually yes. Brisbane owners of testable devices get a yearly reminder from council and need an endorsed tester to do the test. A section that names your endorsement, the device types you test and the suburbs you cover gives them something specific to find. On a one-page site it’s a short section; on a 3-page site it can have a page of its own.
We’d suggest one line on your hot water section. Installing a water heater is notifiable work, so you lodge a Form 4 with the QBCC and give the owner a copy. Saying so up front reassures someone comparing quotes. It’s your decision, and the site only says what you approve.
Yes, as named suburbs rather than council names. Someone in Springwood or Kallangur searches for their suburb, not for Logan City or the City of Moreton Bay. We’d list them under their own heading after your Brisbane suburbs. The list can change after launch whenever you like, because text changes on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Send us your QBCC licence details, the endorsements you hold and the suburbs you cover, plus a few job photos if you have them. We’ll quote first, then build the draft before you pay anything.
