The majority of engineers in NSW will be free to practise without registration well after regulations intended to bolster the quality of construction come into force in July next year.
A lack of progress in fully closing a loophole has sparked warnings that NSW will remain a safe haven for unqualified engineers to work on rail, road and other construction projects.

A collaboration between researchers from UNSW Sydney’s City Futures Research Centre and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has resulted in the development of a new consumer-friendly guide that will help strata property owners and managers navigate the complex process of dealing with defects in apartment buildings.
This useful guide complements the reforms introduced by the NSW Government to the multi-billion-dollar apartment building sector following the Opal Tower problem. Available online, this step-by-step tool, ‘Strata Defects Rectification Guide’ was developed in partnership with Strata Community Association (NSW), the peak strata industry body in New South Wales representing the interests of all strata industry stakeholders. Property owners and strata managers can use this guide to identify, document, report and rectify building defects in strata schemes.
