For a supercharger such as the Kenne Bell he does, but only needs to see it to ensure it is fitted correctly - generally well done - and to check to make sure that the brakes and suspension are not insufficient. That is no drum brakes and no emission testing. He then issues a compliance plate.
That is pretty much what I thought. QLD Transport really only care if adding a supercharger will have a negative effect on emissions. If your documentation shows that the engine modifications do not have this negative effect, you are 90% of the way there.

I know KBs come with this type of paperwork.
