Supplying and using safer building products

Reforming building laws in NSW

The NSW Government is working to increase confidence in our building and construction industry.

We are looking at how we can better protect consumers and support workers through our Reforming building laws in NSW consultation.

Have your say on supplying and using safer building products

As part of this overall consultation, we are looking at improving the supply and use of safe building products in NSW by proposing changes to the Building Product (Safety) Act 2017.

These changes will improve quality, safety and transparency by making manufacturers and suppliers more accountable for the building products they design, produce or supply.

Additionally, designers, architects, engineers and builders will be responsible for the building products they specify and install.

This topic is most relevant to owner-builders, builders, specialist tradespeople, engineers, building designers, architects, developers, certifiers, inspectors, fire safety practitioners and building product suppliers and manufacturers.

Whether you work in building and construction or are a member of the public, if you have an opinion on the building industry in NSW, we want to hear from you.

Tell us what you think

To have your say on supplying and using safer building products, complete the survey below.

Alternatively, to have your say on more than one topic area, we recommend completing the all-in-one survey.

The all-in-one survey allows you to easily skip through all topics to the ones that interest you.

Written submissions

You can also make a submission. This option allows you to give detailed feedback or respond directly to the questions in the regulatory impact statements.

For more information, please refer to the Related documents.

The consultation is open until Friday 25 November 2022.
