There is a chance that in smaller cities, regions there might be a lack of well qualified people to continue the required work as a lot of operators might have to go back to study and fill gaps

Please explain your reasoning.
in the past building designers, draftspeople/CAD operators have relied on Engineers or Building Certifiers for design uncertainties, therefore putting more pressure on certifiers.
The responsibility should be put back on the building designer and builder to have reasonable and thorough knowledge of the NCC

Registration levels
the restriction of building design by specific level applied to the type of construction is what is practiced in parts of Australia, but should be a consistent system where the whole of Australia is bound by it
A building designer/Draftsperson is then expected to practice their trade in every state and be capable to follow same guidelines and standards depepnding on what region they are designing for
Descriptions/definitions
definitions are true
Scope of work
all States and Territories must take the "we are all in this together" attitude in order to work and will take some time in implementing and educating jurisdictions on what qualifications are required in order to be registered and licensed
Qualification requirements
a Pathway ranging from Certificate IV Building Design or Residential Drafting, Diploma, Advanced Diploma and Degree in Architecture
introduction of a Traineeship
Experience requirements
related trade work experience

Other Comments
The ABCB is specifically interested in your comments on the registration levels for building surveyors. Do you agree with the criteria used to distinguish between with the two levels of registration for building surveyors and does it adequately accommodate the different levels of risk?
