 Architects Act 1929 Issues Paper (AR015) [12 pages]

The Tasmanian Architects Act 1929 has not been subject to a major review in the past 80 years. A review of the Architects Act has been requested by stakeholders over recent years. The then Minister for Justice, Steve Kons, agreed to a review of the Architects Act in April 2008.

In November 2008, the Australian Institute of Architects and Board of Architects of Tasmania supplied a schedule outlining issues for inclusion in any discussion paper.

In July 2009 a Project Reference Group was formed by the Director of Building Control and the Project was initiated.

A consultant is to be appointed to prepare a Discussion Paper based on the information supplied by the Australian Institute of Architects, Board of Architects of Tasmania and by stakeholders in response to the above Issues Paper.
