He was a real estate agent before and after his time in parliament, and also served as president of the Wynnum Chamber of Commerce, as a mediator with the Retail Shop Leases Tribunal, and as dispute arbitrator with the Real Estate Institute of Queensland. He was appointed Chairman of the Queensland Small Business Corporation by Joh Bjelke-Petersen after leaving parliament, and chaired the National Party's small business policy committee from 1979.[1] He remained active in retirement, assisting in the establishment of the Waterloo Bay 50s and Over Centre.[2]

Lamond died in Brisbane in 1990. Bill Lamond Park in Lota is named in his honour.[3]
