Statements of regulatory intent
Information about the statements of regulatory intent that have been issued by Building Commission NSW.
Why we issue statements of regulatory intent
We issue statements of regulatory intent to clarify our approach to certain legislative matters.
We may do this when:
- new requirements have been introduced but the industry needs time to adjust
- there is a need for further clarification of the regulatory approach
- there are interim arrangements ahead of upcoming changes to the framework.
