*ARCHIVE* - BIA Update 35 - Builder licensing - tell us what you think 10 Aug 2004

Buildig Performance - changes to Building Act.

Builder licensing - Tell us what you think

The Building Bill sets out proposals to introduce a licensing system for building practitioners. The Bill is currently being considered by Parliament.

We want to hear your views on how the building licensing system will work.

A discussion document called Licensing of Building Practitioners: Discussing the Options outlines the proposed system and includes questions to help you make a submission.

It focuses on two key issues;

  • What work should be restricted to licensed people?
  • Who should be licensed?

Submissions close 30 November 2004

This is an important chance to have your say and help get the decisions on what work is restricted and who is licensed right.

You can get the discussion document by:

  • Downloading it from www.builders.govt.nz
  • Calling the freephone line on 0800 60 60 50
  • Picking one up from your local city or district council

Put these dates in your diary

Consultation meetings on building licensing are being held in September at venues round the country.

Come to a meeting for more information and to get your questions answered.
