(1) Under section 13(1) of the Builders' Registration Act 1939, the Builders' Registration Board has the power to cancel or suspend the registration of a builder. I am advised that in each of the past five years, the cancellations and suspensions of registrations are as follows: 1995 25 Cancellations, 7 Suspensions 1996 31 Cancellations, 10 Suspensions 1997 29 Cancellations, 10 Suspensions 1998 26 Cancellations, 10 Suspensions 1999 25 Cancellations, 11 Suspensions (2) & (4) Under section 13(2) of the Builders' Registration Act 1939, the Builders' Registration Board may order that the cancellation or suspension of the registration be annulled. Registration may also be reinstated following a successful appeal against a decision of the Builders' Registration Board or, with respect to a suspension, the completion by the builder of the term of the suspension. Without reviewing each prosecution file for this period, it is not possible to identify when each registration cancelled or suspended during the year, was reinstated. However I advise that during each year: 1995 4 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 cancellation was annulled after 2 weeks; 1 suspension was annulled after 4 months; 1 cancellation was annulled after 5 months; 1 cancellation was quashed on appeal after 6 months. 1996 7 cancellations were partially annulled immediately; 1 cancellation was annulled after 15 months. 1997 5 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 suspension was partially annulled after 3 months; 1 term of suspension ended after 8 months; 2 cancellations were quashed on appeal after 7 months; 1 cancellation was quashed on appeal after 11 months. 1998 6 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 term of suspension ended after 3 months; 1 term of suspension ended after 18 months. 1999 2 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 suspension was annulled after 2 months; 1 suspension was annulled after 3 months; 1 cancellation was annulled after 5 months. (3) The Builders' Registration Board may cancel or suspend the registration of a builder under section 13(1) of the Builders' Registration Act 1939 on a number of grounds, including those provided for in the following paragraphs of section 13(1): "(b) when after such registration such builder has been convicted of any crime or misdemeanour or of any offence which, if committed in Western Australia, would be a crime or misdemeanour; or (ba) where the builder does not have sufficient material and financial resources available to enable the builder to meet his or its financial obligations as and when they become due; or (c) who has been guilty of any negligence or incompetence in connection with the performance of any building work or who has been convicted of any offence against this Act or any regulation; or (ca) where the builder is a partnership, company or other body corporate, the building work carried out has not been managed and supervised by the partnership, company or other body corporate in compliance with section 10B or 10C, as the case may be; or (d) who has been guilty of any fraudulent conduct in regard to the carrying out or completion of any building work." Without reviewing each prosecution file for this period, it is not possible to identify the basis for each individual cancellation or suspension. However, I am advised that in the previous five years, the grounds for the cancellations or suspensions of the registrations of builders under section 13(1), are as follows: Cancellation Suspension 1995 s13(1)(b) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(ba) 15 cancellations,7 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(d) 8 cancellations,0 suspensions 1996 s13(1)(ba) 28 cancellations,9 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(c)&(d) 0 cancellations,1 suspension s13(1)(d) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions 1997 s13(1)(ba) 13 cancellations,9 suspensions s13(1)(c) 6 cancellations, 0 suspensions s13(1)(d) 10 cancellations,1 suspension 1998 s13(1)(b) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(ba) 18 cancellations, 7 suspensions s13(1)(c) 2 cancellations, 2 suspensions s13(1)(d) 5 cancellations,1 suspension 1999 s13(1)(ba) 15 cancellations, 10 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(d) 1 cancellation, 0 suspensions s13(1)(c) 1 cancellation, 1 suspension s13(1)(ca) 2 cancellations,0 suspensions s13(1)(d) 5 cancellations, 0 suspensions (5) The Builders' Registration Board does not maintain records regarding the number of homes built by a builder, and therefore I am unable to answer this question.

I am advised that in each of the past five years, the cancellations and suspensions of registrations are as follows: 1995 25 Cancellations, 7 Suspensions 1996 31 Cancellations, 10 Suspensions 1997 29 Cancellations, 10 Suspensions 1998 26 Cancellations, 10 Suspensions 1999 25 Cancellations, 11 Suspensions (2) & (4) Under section 13(2) of the Builders' Registration Act 1939, the Builders' Registration Board may order that the cancellation or suspension of the registration be annulled. Registration may also be reinstated following a successful appeal against a decision of the Builders' Registration Board or, with respect to a suspension, the completion by the builder of the term of the suspension. Without reviewing each prosecution file for this period, it is not possible to identify when each registration cancelled or suspended during the year, was reinstated. However I advise that during each year: 1995 4 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 cancellation was annulled after 2 weeks; 1 suspension was annulled after 4 months; 1 cancellation was annulled after 5 months; 1 cancellation was quashed on appeal after 6 months. 1996 7 cancellations were partially annulled immediately; 1 cancellation was annulled after 15 months. 1997 5 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 suspension was partially annulled after 3 months; 1 term of suspension ended after 8 months; 2 cancellations were quashed on appeal after 7 months; 1 cancellation was quashed on appeal after 11 months. 1998 6 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 term of suspension ended after 3 months; 1 term of suspension ended after 18 months. 1999 2 cancellations/suspensions were partially annulled immediately; 1 suspension was annulled after 2 months; 1 suspension was annulled after 3 months; 1 cancellation was annulled after 5 months. (3) The Builders' Registration Board may cancel or suspend the registration of a builder under section 13(1) of the Builders' Registration Act 1939 on a number of grounds, including those provided for in the following paragraphs of section 13(1): "(b) when after such registration such builder has been convicted of any crime or misdemeanour or of any offence which, if committed in Western Australia, would be a crime or misdemeanour; or (ba) where the builder does not have sufficient material and financial resources available to enable the builder to meet his or its financial obligations as and when they become due; or (c) who has been guilty of any negligence or incompetence in connection with the performance of any building work or who has been convicted of any offence against this Act or any regulation; or (ca) where the builder is a partnership, company or other body corporate, the building work carried out has not been managed and supervised by the partnership, company or other body corporate in compliance with section 10B or 10C, as the case may be; or (d) who has been guilty of any fraudulent conduct in regard to the carrying out or completion of any building work." Without reviewing each prosecution file for this period, it is not possible to identify the basis for each individual cancellation or suspension. However, I am advised that in the previous five years, the grounds for the cancellations or suspensions of the registrations of builders under section 13(1), are as follows: Cancellation Suspension 1995 s13(1)(b) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(ba) 15 cancellations,7 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(d) 8 cancellations,0 suspensions 1996 s13(1)(ba) 28 cancellations,9 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(c)&(d) 0 cancellations,1 suspension s13(1)(d) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions 1997 s13(1)(ba) 13 cancellations,9 suspensions s13(1)(c) 6 cancellations, 0 suspensions s13(1)(d) 10 cancellations,1 suspension 1998 s13(1)(b) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(ba) 18 cancellations, 7 suspensions s13(1)(c) 2 cancellations, 2 suspensions s13(1)(d) 5 cancellations,1 suspension 1999 s13(1)(ba) 15 cancellations, 10 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(c) 1 cancellation,0 suspensions s13(1)(ba)&(d) 1 cancellation, 0 suspensions s13(1)(c) 1 cancellation, 1 suspension s13(1)(ca) 2 cancellations,0 suspensions s13(1)(d) 5 cancellations, 0 suspensions (5) The Builders' Registration Board does not maintain records regarding the number of homes built by a builder, and therefore I am unable to answer this question.
(3) What was the nature of the complaint against each builder suspended? (4) For each builder who has had their license reinstated, what was the length of time that their license was suspended?
