Home Building Act 1989

The Secretary is to maintain a register of—

particulars of contractor licences, supervisor and tradesperson certificates and owner-builder permits, and

such other particulars as are required to be kept in the register by the regulations.

The register is to be in the form determined by the Secretary and is to be available for inspection by the public.

The Secretary may determine the fees (if any) to be paid for inspection of the register or the provision of copies of information contained on the register.

Without limiting the particulars that may be prescribed by the regulations under subsection (1)(b), the regulations may require that the register include any of the following particulars in relation to the holder of a contractor licence, a supervisor certificate, a tradesperson certificate or an owner-builder permit—

the results of any relevant determination under Part 4,

the results of any prosecutions against the holder under this Act,

details of any penalty notices issued to the holder,

the number of insurance claims paid in respect of work done by the holder,

any instance of non-compliance with a Tribunal order to do work or to pay money,

any instance of non-compliance with an order made by a court in respect of a building claim within the meaning of Part 3A,

details of the public warnings issued regarding the holder under section 23,

details of any formal cautions issued to the holder of the contractor licence regarding his, her or its conduct,

any cancellation or suspension of that or any other contractor licence, supervisor certificate, tradesperson certificate or owner-builder permit held by the holder, whether made under this or any other Act.

The Secretary may remove any particular from, or otherwise amend, the register if the particular is shown to the satisfaction of the Secretary to be, or is to the knowledge or in the opinion of the Secretary, false, erroneous, misleading or unfairly prejudicial to the interests of the holder of the contractor licence, supervisor certificate, tradesperson certificate or owner-builder permit concerned.
