C&R Projects' plumbing licence automatically suspended for four days

C&R Projects Pty Ltd’s plumbing, draining and gasfitting licence was automatically suspended on 22 October 2026, after the company had no active licensed nominee, according to the ACT Register of Disciplinary Actions.

Why it matters

The suspension is a statutory consequence, not a disciplinary ruling. The register records the action under section 50A of the Construction Occupations Licensing Act 2004, which automatically suspends a company’s licence the moment it has no active licensed nominee attached to it, regardless of the company’s conduct or workmanship. For anyone who had engaged, or was considering engaging, C&R Projects for plumbing, draining or gasfitting work in the ACT, the register shows the licence suspended for those four days, with no misconduct finding against the company.

The numbers

C&R Projects Pty Ltd, ACN 637 672 461, holds ACT licence number 2022158, covering the Plumber, Drainer and Gasfitter occupation classes. The register lists the automatic suspension as starting 22 October 2026 and ending 26 October 2026, a four-day gap. No licence conditions or endorsements are recorded against the company outside this entry, and the register does not show the matter going to the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal for review. The register’s circumstances field states the suspension was triggered because the company did not have an active licensed nominee at the time, and records it as an automatic statutory suspension rather than a disciplinary finding. No stop-work notice, rectification order, partnership or related licensee is recorded against the entry.

What’s next

The suspension period recorded on the register has already closed, with the licence’s action end date listed as 26 October 2026, meaning the gap was a short one rather than an ongoing bar on trading. Anyone relying on C&R Projects’ licence number 2022158 for current or upcoming plumbing, draining or gasfitting work in the Territory can check its status directly on the ACT Register of Disciplinary Actions, which lists no pending tribunal review and no review period for this action. The entry is a reminder that under the Construction Occupations Licensing Act, a licensed company’s ability to trade turns on having an active nominee in place at all times, not only on its record of workmanship.
