Part 5—Places of business
Principal place of business—the place where the licence

of this activity are kept is considered the principal place of
business. There must be a suitably licensed person in charge
of the principal place of business, except for field agents
who require a licensed person in charge of the regulated
business. A post office box is not acceptable as a place of
business.
Other place of business—places of business divided by
a public road are considered separate, and each must
nominate a different licensed person in charge. If more
than two places of business are operated, an attachment
must be provided listing all places of business operated,
any business names used at each place, and the name and
licence number of the licensed person in charge at each
place of business.
Places of business must be within Australia, and are not
restricted to Queensland. Real estate agents may nominate
a real estate salesperson to be person in charge of a place of
business other than the principal place.
