Trades Registration and Licensing

Recent amendments were made to the Building Act 1993 to:

• Provide the registration of building trade contractors and sub-contractors; and
• The licensing of building employees

A registration or a license will be required to perform certain building work which will be prescribed in building regulation (‘prescribed work’).

Priority areas of building work include:

• Carpenters (and framers)
• Plasterers
• Footing and foundation workers
• Bricklayers and
• Water proofers
