Hi, is there anyone able to tell me if there are alot of new build properties being constructed in OZ for potential plumbing work, looking at most threads it seems to be mostly maintenace work, ie diggin holes and clearing drains,

any info appreciated

Hi,
Yes millions of new houses!!! Still lots of digging though as services run outside of property after they lay the slab. Thats in WA at least....

Wife's sister lives just outside Brisbane and says the papers are full of adverts for plumbers jobs!

We are hoping to go to North Brisbane suburbs or the Sunshine Coast, depending on where hubby can get most plumbing work. Would be interested to know where abouts these jobs are being advertised??
Have family in Buderim and would obvioulsly like to be close to them, but if there's no work in SC we'll have to go closer to Brisbane...

Cheers

Other than collating evidence and documentation haven't started yet. Wife's sister lives south of Brisbane, been a couple of times so all being well in that vicinity. Hoping next weeks skills expo in London answers some questions.

Did you hubby do the TRA or VETASSES?

Good Luck.

Simon.

Stefjt

He did the TRA, I think Vetasses is a new thing as we didn't have a choice?
Good luck its a long process, but hopefully all worth it!
