Changes to demolition licensing in NSW

The Office of Fair Trading has announced that effective, 2 May 2008, demolishing work is no longer regulated under the Home Building Act 1989 in New South Wales (NSW). This means that demolishing work is no longer licensed by the Office of Fair Trading.

However, to undertake demolition work in NSW it is generally necessary to hold a licence and/or permit issued by WorkCover NSW.
