Not sure mate, but QLD transport gave me one in Yatala too James Herd 0414 787735. They do trailer modifications and certifications for QLD transport. THe one at the marina just does mods and referred to the engineer as "the guy we use".
THe Kennith Jobbins one ( Crooks road Woongoolba) does the mods but asked me why I dont just have a new trailer made and referred me to a place at Yatala which may have been that trailer building place you mentioned before. So it looks like some of these engineers at least do the mods - I guess some of the actual trailer builders may be certified too (??????)

It looks very similar to the Venture trailer I bought in Perth a couple of years ago. Also a similar price. Mine had a few problems on an 8,000 km round trip to Lake Argyle but nothing substantial (cheap ST tyres wore out and the indicator light brackets broke off - they have since fixed the design of the latter).
Overall, I have been very happy with it.
