This Consultation Regulatory Impact Statement is part of the first steps towards meeting the McGowan Government’s commitment to implement Recommendations 1, 2 and 6 of the report Building Confidence: improving the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement systems for the building and construction industry across Australia.

Feedback is sought from builders, building industry associations and institutes, homeowners, registered training organisations and local government. Building surveyors, building surveying industry associations and institutes, and painters and painting industry associations are also encouraged to provide comment on the disciplinary and enforcement proposals in Part 8, as most of these proposals will impact occupations registered under the Building Services (Registration) Act 2011.
