Owner developers are?

Owner developers are?

• A. Registered, but not licensed
• B. Licensed
• C. Unregistered
• D. Inactive

Answer: (A)

In Queensland’s licensing framework, owner builders (owner developers) aren’t professional contractors who hold a builder’s license. They own the project and undertake the work on their own property, so they don’t operate as licensed builders. Instead, they must be registered with the QBCC as an owner-builder. That’s why the correct description is that they are registered but not licensed: they’re authorized to do work on their own project under owner-builder rules, but they don’t hold a standard contractor license to operate commercially for others. The other statuses don’t fit because being licensed would imply a professional contractor, unregistered would mean no official QBCC registration, and inactive would suggest they’re not authorized to work at all.
