BIA Welcomes Building Act Changes
The Building Industry Authority (BIA) today welcomed the Government’s decisions on proposals for better regulation of
the building industry.
“Not only will the proposed changes put in place a stronger set of building controls but they will also clarify what the
Government and consumers expect of builders and other industry participants. They will also allow the BIA to take a more
proactive role in monitoring and enforcing the building regulations, which is welcome”, said BIA Chairman Barry Brown.
“The BIA provided significant input to the Review of the Building Act and believes the final outcome appropriately
balances the needs of consumers, industry and government (both local and central) in a way that will allow all parties
to proceed with confidence.
