Watered down building laws fail to protect resource projects
31-Aug-2009
AMMA's Chief Executive Steve Knott raises significant concerns about changes to the building regulator laws and watering down of the accompanying code at a time when the sector is managing billion dollar construction projects.



“The Bill flies in the face of comments in the Wilcox Report about the continuing
level of industrial unlawfulness in the building and construction industry”, said
AMMA’s Chief Executive, Steve Knott.

AMMA has submitted to the Senate enquiry on the Building and Construction
Industry Improvement Amendment (Transition to Fair Work) Bill 2009
that its effect will be to significantly water down the capacity and effectiveness of
the Building Industry Inspectorate in preventing unlawful conduct.
