Start the conversation

The NSW Building Commissioner is set to establish a Transformation Management team to implement the Government’s new raft of building industry reforms.

Minister for Better Regulation, Kevin Anderson announced that recruitment was underway within the Office of the NSW Building Commissioner.

“With a workforce comprising of up to 15 operational staff, the Transformation Management team will be exclusively dedicated to the delivery of the Government’s six building reform pillars,” Mr Anderson said.

“Last year we recruited NSW Building Commissioner, David Chandler to overhaul the building and construction industry,” he said.

“Now we’re at the stage we can build our capacity by hiring experienced professionals to support the Commissioners plan and deliver the reforms efficiently and effectively under his leadership.”

Mr Anderson said the reforms were a “mammoth” undertaking, which was why the new management team would be established with the single focus of turning the industry around.

He also announced the phased delivery of up to 60 new roles responsible for the implementation and operation of the new auditing, registration and design lodgment functions.

“The Office of the NSW Building Commissioner sits within the Department of Customer Service providing the added benefit of shared expertise between NSW Fair Trading and SafeWork NSW,” Mr Anderson said.
