In late 2014, the Assistant Minister for Planning (now the Minister for Planning), the Hon. Rob Stokes, appointed former Treasury Secretary Michael Lambert to conduct a broad review to examine certification and its application in the wider building industry.
The review’s broad terms of reference gave Mr Lambert the ability to:
- assess the validity and efficacy of the current Act
- examine building and subdivision certification and its application in the wider building industry
- make recommendations for reform.
Mr Lambert delivered his final report to the Secretaries of the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation and the Department of Planning and Environment.
