Building Practitioners Board - Chair

About the Board

On behalf of the Minister for Building and Construction, the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment is seeking applications from candidates interested in bringing their legal background and tribunal experience to the role of Chair of the Building Practitioners Board

The Building Practitioners Board (the Board) plays an important role in overseeing the Licensed Building Practitioners Scheme.

The Board's functions are to:

  • Approve rules for recommendation to the Minister relating to Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) that are prepared in accordance with Part 4 of the Building Act 2004 (the Act).
  • Hear and decide complaints about, inquire into the conduct of, and discipline, LBPs in accordance with the Act.
  • Hear appeals against certain decisions by the Registrar of the Board.
  • Review and report to the Minister on the performance of the functions and duties, and the exercise of the powers of the Board in accordance with the Act.

The Board is not a governance board in the same way a Crown entity board provides strategic oversight for a Crown entity, instead it acts more like a tribunal. The Board is independent of MBIE but is supported in the performance of its role and functions.

The Board is committed to supporting the capability of New Zealand's building and construction industry and maintaining building practitioner standards. Further information on the Board can be found on their website.
