The Department of Energy and Public Works (DEPW) is currently preparing amendments to the Building Regulation 2021.
The amended regulation will be titled Building (Private Certification Endorsement) Amendment Regulation 2023 and will include the following:
- Extending the existing period in which private building certifiers are permitted to be licensed while holding Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) with cladding exclusions for an additional two years until 30 June 2025
- Updating the details of the new Building Development Approval (BDA) course title and course provider to enable building certifiers to meet the legislative requirements for obtaining a Development Approval licence endorsement.
The Property Council will pass on further information about these amendments when it is available via the DEPW.
