Licensing update electronic newsletter

The fourth issue of the Department’s Licensing Update electronic newsletter was published in August and is available from the Department’s website.

More than 2600 people from the industry now have this newsletter emailed directly to them, keeping them in touch with the latest developments in the Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) Scheme in the lead-up to 1 November.

Topics in the most recent issue included a preview of the LBP licence identification card, and answers to questions sent in by practitioners interested in the licensing process, ranging from queries about Site licence classes to which licence classes self-employed builders should apply for.

You can read the latest Licensing Update and, if you're not already on our database, sign up for future issues.
