BUILDER LICENSING

In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (7 June 2011) (First Session).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): The Minister for Business Services and Consumers has been advised:

The Commissioners focus is primarily consumer protection, ensuring that applicants are aware of current business standards is a way to ensure this. It is important to note that the Business Qualifications are not additional training, however, they have been updated to meet current business standards and if an applicant is reapplying for a Building Contractors licence they must satisfy the Commissioners current criteria.
