Tradies will save $52.3 million over 10 years by not having to renew their licences every three years, as part of the NSW government’s Better Business reforms. Public consultation showed significant support for retaining 13 home building licences. This is a fantastic outcome for consumers and for more than 27,400 tradies around the state, because it maintains important protections while also cutting costs. The licence renewal fees will be reduced from up to $605 every three years to just a $51 processing fee for tradies to update their details every five years.
