EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Australian Capital Territory

Amendments of the Canberra Building Regulations

No. 13 of 1959

	Formal amendments to these Regulations are necessary in order to repeal provisions relating to issue of architects’ licences and evidence of qualifications of architects, as these matters are now dealt with by the Architects Ordinance, 1959.

	Regulation 7 applies to builders’ licences the conditions prescribed for architects’ licences by Regulations 5 and 6 which are now being repealed.  Regulation 7 has therefore been re drafted to incorporate all the provisions with regard to builders’ licences.  There are no changes in principle.
