Easy and Transparent Trading
The NSW Government has opened public consultation on a range of possible reforms designed to empower consumers and small businesses in NSW by facilitating easy and transparent trading.
The Department of Finance, Services and Innovation (DFSI) has undertaken a detailed review of legislation that NSW Fair Trading and SafeWork NSW regulate. The proposals have been developed to remove unnecessary administrative and regulatory burdens, making it easier to do business in NSW.
Some of the possible changes include:
- removing 13 categories of home building licenses;
- removing duplicate and unnecessary record keeping and reporting requirements;
- updating uncollected goods regulation;
- repealing redundant statutes;
- increasing the threshold for owner-builder permits to $20,000;
- creating a central data portal on traders and licensees.
Stakeholders and interested parties are invited to review the Consultation paper (PDF, 1073.07 KB) and provide any comments.
