The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has
announced changes to the Licensed Buildings Practitioners
(LBP) scheme to improve accountability, efficiency and
fairness.
“We are strengthening our occupational
regulation of Licensed Building Practitioners so that New
Zealanders can remain confident in LBPs and their work,”
said Amy Moorhead, MBIE’s Building Policy
Manager.
The Government has agreed to strengthen the
LBP scheme to introduce a code of ethics, improve the
structure of the complaints and discipline model to
introduce independent investigators, and enhance the
efficiency of the licensing administration process such as
including a grace period for late renewals.

Nearly five years after the closure of the former
Wellington site, the Ministry of Business, Innovation &
Employment (MBIE) Trading Standards laboratory in Wellington
is set to reopen.
The reopening also coincides with an
event for World Metrology Day. Observed on 20 May, this is
an annual commemoration of the setting of global
collaboration in the science of measurement.
The event
is being hosted by the team at the adjacent Measurement
Standards Laboratory (MSL), and Trading Standards will join
them for this event. Both labs are within Callaghan
Innovation’s Gracefield Innovation Quarter site in Lower
Hutt.
