MCGOWAN GOVERNMENT — LEGISLATIVE AGENDA — COMMERCE

1320. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the minister representing the Minister for Commerce:

I refer to the following projects promised by the McGowan Labor government in the course of the 2017 election campaign.

What is the status of the project and of any legislation necessary for its implementation for —

(a) full private certification for building permits, which was promised to be in place within six months of gaining office; and

(b) subcontractor protection legislation arising out of the Fiocco report?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. The Minister for Commerce has provided the following information.

(a) A consultation regulatory impact statement proposing options for reform of the residential building approval process was released for industry and public consultation on 11 September 2019. Full private certification for building permits is one of the reform options. The consultation period closes on 9 December 2019 and the honourable member is welcome to make a submission.

(b) The McGowan government has carefully considered recommendations included in the Fiocco report and will announce its response in due course.
