NSW Building Reforms – 6 Pillars

NSW Minister for Better Regulation has announced further building reforms for the NSW industry, including a ratings system for professionals in the building industry and strong new powers to prevent occupation certificates from being issued on suspect developments. 

The new rating system will help the building regulator determine who the risky players are in the industry and prevent dodgy apartments from being sold to unexpecting buyers. 

The changes form part of the NSW Building Commissioner’s work plan which, for the first time, outlines publicly how the government plans to overhaul the building and construction industry in NSW under Six Reform Pillars.
