Frequently asked questions
Is this for any QLD council?
No — TBCO is Brisbane City Council specific. Other QLD councils have analogous heritage-character controls but not the same TBCO framework.
What's the pre-1947 cut-off?
Strictly buildings constructed before 1947. The TBCO doesn't apply to post-1947 buildings even if they look similar.
