Helen Kow­al appeared on Own­ers Cor­po­ra­tion Net­work’s webi­nar on Reme­di­al work and the Build­ing Prac­ti­tion­ers ACT. 

The OCN host­ed this impor­tant webi­nar pre­sent­ed by Matt Press, Exec­u­tive Direc­tor, Com­pli­ance and Dis­pute Res­o­lu­tion NSW Depart­ment of Cus­tomer Ser­vice, Helen Kow­al, Part­ner Swaab, and Deb­o­rah Lock­hart, Man­ag­er Risk, and Com­pli­ance RHM Con­sult­ing. The webi­nar is suit­able for own­ers, com­mit­tee mem­bers, stra­ta man­agers, and build­ing man­agers seek­ing clar­i­ty around the NSW Design and Build­ing Prac­ti­tion­ers Act 2021 (DBP) and its impli­ca­tions for reme­di­al works in res­i­den­tial strata.

The July 2021 NSW Design and Build­ing Prac­ti­tion­ers Act (DBP) pro­vides a new reg­u­la­to­ry frame­work for res­i­den­tial stra­ta build­ing work. The DBP intro­duced var­i­ous prac­ti­tion­er reg­is­tra­tion class­es and process­es to pro­mote bet­ter build­ing out­comes for our homes and invest­ments. There has been a lot for gov­ern­ment, indus­try, and own­ers to learn as it takes effect in reme­di­al works.

For the past two years, the Gov­ern­ment has been con­sult­ing with the stra­ta reme­di­al indus­try peak body, The Aus­tralasian Con­crete Repair and Reme­di­al Build­ing Asso­ci­a­tion (ACRA) on unin­tend­ed consequences.
