Understanding the indices/indexes

Indices are a record of all entries published in the combined Queensland Government Gazette. Indices are available every 4 months as a separate document:

  • January to April
  • May to August
  • September to December.

Using the indices

You can find online copies of the gazettes on the Queensland Government Publications Portal. These are available individually and grouped into publication sets including:

  • Extraordinary Gazettes by month

For example, to find where a notice was Gazetted under the Building Act, follow these steps:

  1. Search for the year of publication: 'gazette indexes 2015'.
  2. Open the publishing time period e.g. September—December 2015.
