Changes to registrar operating model

MBIE recently undertook an independent review to assess the licenced building practitioner (LBP) and electrical worker (EW) registrar operating model.

As a result of this assessment, both the LBP and EW registrar roles have been integrated with the Operations Manager role on an interim basis, until the impact on the occupational licensing of LBPs from any upcoming changes as part of the Building System Legislative Reform Programme is clear. We expect this interim model to be in place until at least July 2020.

Duncan Connor is the Registrar of Licenced Building Practitioners and leads the Occupational Licensing team as Operations Manager.  He is supported by a strong technical team who have significant experience in the building space. Duncan will also continue to work closely with the Building Practitioners Board.
