Regulatory excellence The Commission works to improve the effectiveness of the plumbing regulatory framework by being actively involved with the review and development of standards.
The Plumbing Industry Commission endeavours to deliver effective and responsible industry governance by: • continuously monitoring the effectiveness of the Victorian plumbing system to enhance the amenity, safety, health and sustainability of plumbing work • building a more innovative, transparent and responsible organisation. Key achievements In 2007–08, the Commission worked with the Department of Planning and Community Development to ensure regulatory excellence by continuing a major review of the current Plumbing Regulations 1998, which are due to sunset in November 2008. This included consulting with key industry stakeholders to ensure that new Plumbing Regulations reflect industry, community and Government expectations. The Commission worked with the Department of Planning and Community Development and key stakeholders to have the plumbing related amendments included in the Building (Amendment) Bill 2008. The Bill subsequently passed through both houses of the Victorian Parliament. The Commission also improved the effectiveness of the plumbing regulatory framework by being actively involved with the review or development of standards. In particular, it attended the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Forum to examine a proposal to provide a star rating for instantaneous water heaters and clothes washer/dryers and review the development of work underway on three-litre single-flush toilet cisterns. Another achievement was the Commission’s contribution to a consultation paper setting out the key steps to achieving the transition of the work conducted under the auspices of the Australia-New Zealand Reciprocity Agreement to the National Plumbing Regulators Forum.
