Construction Industry Reform and Development Regulations (Amendment)

Section 56 of the Construction Industry Reform and Development Act 1992 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for the purposes of the Act.

The Act established a body known as the Construction Industry Development Council (the Council).

Paragraph 6(1)(e) of the Act provided that members to represent prescribed industry bodies were to be appointed to the Council. Paragraph 6(1)(g) provided that members to represent prescribed trade unions were also to be appointed to the Council.

Regulation 5 of the Construction Industry Reform and Development Regulations (the Regulations) prescribed various industry bodies which were identified in Schedule 1 of the Regulations. Regulation 7 prescribed the various trade unions which were identified in Schedule 2 of the Regulations.

Due to amalgamations and cessation of some industry bodies and trade unions it became necessary to amend Schedule 1 and Schedule 2.

Amending subregulation 2.1 has deleted Item 5 (Australian Federation of Construction Contractors) from Schedule 1.

Amending subregulation 3.1 has deleted Item 1 (Australian Builders Labourers Federated Union of Workers (WA Branch)) and Item 2 (Australian Workers' Union) from Schedule 2.

Amending subregulation 3.2 has inserted the word "Food" after the word "Automotive" in Item 3 of Schedule 2 (to become 'Automotive, Food, Metals and Engineering Union').

Amending subregulation 3.3 has deleted Item 6 (Federation of Industrial, Manufacturing and Engineering Employees) from Schedule 2 and substituted an alternative Item (The AWU-FIMEE Amalgamated Union).

The amending Regulations will commence on gazettal.
