Every job is done by a licensed plumber who holds a gas work licence, and you see a fixed quote before any work starts. That suits the way this suburb lives. At the last census, 92.8 per cent of homes here were separate houses, and most have an outdoor area worth plumbing for gas.
For every kind of gas work, from leaks to cooktops, start at our gas fitting page.
What a Gas Bayonet Point Is and Who Fits It
Only a licensed gasfitter may install one, because fitting a socket to fuel pipework is gas work in Queensland. The point itself is a recessed outlet on the line, built into brickwork or a slab, and an appliance hose locks into it to draw gas.
Gas work takes in the installing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing and certifying of a fuel system and its pipework. Ask to sight the gas work licence before anyone touches the job.
Positioning is the gasfitter's call as well. The spot has to suit whatever the hose will feed, following the maker's instructions and the relevant standards.
Once the work is done, the owner receives a compliance certificate for the gas system, confirming everything was installed to standard. Indoor appliances are a different job: our gas cooktop installation page covers benchtop and built-in units.
What to Do If an Inbuilt BBQ Smells of Gas
A licensed gasfitter connects a barbecue built into a bench to the fuel supply, installs it to the maker's instructions, then leak-tests the joints before leaving. If you ever smell gas at one, the Queensland safety alert sets the order:
- Close the gas supply to the appliance first.
- Extinguish every open flame.
- Treat phones, cameras and lights as ignition sources and keep them away.
- Air it out by lifting the lid and opening the cabinet doors.
A smell that lingers escalates. Shut the gas off where it enters, at the cylinder or the meter, then phone your gas supplier or book a licensed gasfitter, and dial 000 if the smell still won't clear.
For tracing a leak that keeps coming back, our gas leak repairs page goes deeper on finding and fixing it.
Servicing an Outdoor Heater Before Winter
No, a portable patio heater runs outdoors only, never inside the house and never in a semi-enclosed area, because a unit that's faulty or wrongly used puts out toxic carbon monoxide. Book a service regularly, and the best timing is ahead of winter each year.
That timing matters here. The median age at the last census was 59, and the island's mild months leave plenty of heaters sitting unused from spring through autumn. A pre-winter check catches the faults before the first cold night.
A heater fixed to the gas line gets connected by a licensed gasfitter, because the hookup is pipework. Along with the connection, a periodic check for corrosion, deterioration or damage on the system keeps the appliance safe, and combustible materials stay well away from it.
LPG Cylinders for Outdoor Appliances
A portable LPG bottle for a barbecue, usually 9 kg, needs a current 10-year stamp before anyone will refill it, and refillers check every date stamp as a matter of course. Storage carries its own rules:
- Use and store bottles where air moves freely, away from hot spots and anything that sparks.
- Keep spare bottles in one secure, set-aside spot.
- Leave the valve closed on any bottle out of service, empty or not.
A rotten-egg odour means gas. Never attempt repairs on a bottle valve, and never remove one yourself.
Storm tides do reach the canal-estate frontages along Solander Esplanade, so the post-storm rules apply after wild weather. When a storm or flood has been through, dial 000 if you smell gas, and tell the gas supplier if meters, regulators or bottles took damage.
What Decides the Price of an Outdoor Gas Point
The biggest driver is the pipework: an existing line nearby keeps the job short, while a new run back to the meter or an LPG setup adds length and labour. The supply check matters too, because the licence holder must confirm the system has capacity for another appliance before connecting it.
Access changes the time on site. Getting through brickwork, a slab or under the deck is a different job from a clean wall run. At the last census, 92.8 per cent of dwellings in the suburb were separate houses, so most runs cross one exterior wall rather than a shared riser.
A fixed quote locks in the figure after we inspect the job. Nothing starts until you've seen it.

Outdoor Gas Questions Answered
Call (07) 3523 7121Is it legal to have a gas bayonet point at my place?
Yes, when a licensed gasfitter installs the point and certifies the work as compliant. The certificate is your record that the installation met the standard, and the licence holder gives it to you on completion.
How does an inbuilt BBQ get connected in Banksia Beach?
A licensed gasfitter runs the whole connection. We tie the barbecue into the fuel supply, fit it per the manufacturer's instructions, leak-test every joint and hand over the certificate before we leave.
My inbuilt barbecue smells of gas. What should I do first?
Turn the appliance's gas off, douse any flame, and keep phones, cameras and lights well clear. Open the lid and the cabinet to air it out. A lingering smell means shutting the supply at the meter or cylinder, ringing your gas supplier or a licensed gasfitter, then 000 if it still hangs around.
Can I wheel my patio heater into the garage?
No, it belongs outside, never indoors or in semi-enclosed spaces like a garage. Used wrongly or when faulty, one releases toxic carbon monoxide, so have it serviced before each winter.
What does a gas bayonet installation cost in Banksia Beach?
The two biggest drivers are the pipework, meaning a nearby line versus a new run, and the supply check that confirms capacity for another appliance. Flat-rate pricing applies, and a fixed quote sets the figure after we inspect the job.
