The legislation library now covers key licensed-trades and technical-safety regimes for electrical, plumbing, drainage, gasfitting and utility work across Australia. This gives trade contractors, builders, fitout teams, landlords, franchise groups and small businesses hiring contractors a clearer place to understand licence classes, certificates, inspections, incident records, regulator notices and handover evidence.
The legislation library now has a state and territory building-regulation cluster covering builder and trade authorisation, fitout projects, permits, inspections, certifiers, handover records and contractor due diligence. This is designed for builders, tradies, landlords, tenants, franchisors and small operators opening or renovating premises.
Businesses can now browse the core planning and premises approval laws for every state and territory, plus the federal Premises Standards for building accessibility. The pages focus on leases, fitouts, changes of use, development approvals, signs, access, building checks and local authority conditions.
