In the lead-up to the March 2017 State election, the Government made a commitment to consider full private certification of building approvals for single residential buildings in WA to reduce the regulatory burden.
The Government has also since given its in-principle agreement to implement the recommendations of the February 2018 report titled, Building Confidence: Improving the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement systems for the building and construction industry across Australia (the Building Confidence Report) commissioned from Professor Peter Shergold and Ms Bronwyn Weir by the Building Ministers’ Forum.
In addition, the Government has also noted the findings of a 2018 inquiry into non-conforming building products conducted by the Senate Economics References Committee of the Parliament of Australia.
