BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD
970. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to both the minister's
press statement titled ''Levy change in place to boost construction
training opportunities'' and the Building and Construction Industry
Training Board.
(1) Has the
minister committed to expand the board membership to include a representative
from the resources sector; and, if not, why not?
(2) If yes to
(1), does this require an amendment to the Building and Construction Industry
Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990?
(3) If yes to
(2), are there any other legislative amendments required to give effect to the
levy changes announced by the minister, not including the amendment regulations
tabled on 9 October 2018; and, if yes, what are these required amendments and
when does the minister intend to introduce legislation?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) It is my
intention to include representation from the resources sector on the Building
and Construction Industry Training Board.
(2) I am
considering short and long-term options to ensure the resource sector is
represented. In the long term, there will be an amendment to the Building and Construction
Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990.
(3) Although
there is no need for legislative amendments to give effect to the levy change,
I will continue to consult with resources and building and construction
stakeholders over the next few months as the amendment regulations are
implemented. Any matters identified that may require legislative change will be
referred to the statutory review of the Building and Construction Industry
Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990, which is due to commence in
early 2019.
