| Questions |
| Q1. Do you have any data or information about the building work that owner builders do? In particular, do you have any information that is inconsistent with the research mentioned in this document? |
| |
| Q2. Do you think one of the alternative options in Appendix 2 is better than the proposed exemption? If so, why? What do you think are the costs and benefits of your preferred alternative compared to the proposed exemption? |
| |
| Q3. What costs do you think owner builders will face under the proposed exemption? |
| |
| Q4. Do you think the elements of the exemption are a fair balance between (a) enabling owner builders to work on their own homes and (b) the interests of consumers (future owners)? |
| |
| Q5. Do you agree with each of the elements of the exemption? Which elements do you disagree with or think should be changed? Please describe any alternatives you have in detail. |
| |
| Q6. Are there any of the proposed amendments to the Act that you disagree with or think should be done differently? Again, please describe your suggestions in detail. |
| |
| Q7. Do you agree with the proposed addition to the LIM and the requirement for territorial authorities to provide information to the Department? If you disagree with these two proposals, please explain why and give any alternatives you think will achieve the same result. |
