With around 35,000 building applications in our state every year involving almost 140 local governments; more than 6,600 registered builders and around 250 registered building surveyors, changing over to the new system has been a bold undertaking but also a vital one.
Some minor amendments to the Building Act made in consultation with our key stakeholders and industry partners, have now passed through Parliament and make good legislation even better read more.
