Building Commission has opened
THE Building Commission NSW, NSW’s first dedicated building regulator, officially opened, fulfilling an election promise by the Minns Labor Government. Led by Commissioner David Chandler, the agency aims to enhance compliance, safety, and durability in the building sector. With a $24M budget, the agency becomes a one-stop-shop for sector regulation, licensing, and oversight. The government emphasizes quality over quantity in addressing the housing supply crisis, investing in expanding the Building Commissioner’s powers, elevating the sector’s importance, and supporting smaller builders. NSW also introduces Decennial Liability Insurance for defect coverage, a pioneering move in Australia.
