Construction Occupations Licensing Exposure Draft

The ACT Government has tabled the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Bill and Regulations 2003 Exposure Drafts in the Legislative Assembly.  An Exposure Draft Bill is not for debate by the Assembly; instead, it provides the community with an opportunity to understand the reform proposal and provide written submissions for the Government to consider before the legislation is finalised. 

There are eight fact sheets that explain the key elements of the proposed reforms.  

Fact sheet 1 – Important new rules for the building trades - information sessions
Fact sheet 2 – Licensing
Fact sheet 3 – Rectification orders
Fact sheet 4 – Disciplinary process
Fact sheet 5 – Corporations, Partnerships and Nominees
Fact sheet 6 – Demerit points
Fact sheet 7 – Advertising requirements
Fact sheet 8 – Mandatory qualifications 

Copies of Fact Sheets will be available on the ACT Planning and Land Authority web site, www.actpla.act.gov.au from 1 July 2003.
