Legislators will have the opportunity to pose questions to David Burt, the Premier, during the sitting of the House of Assembly today.

The day’s debates are unlikely to take long because three items of housekeeping legislation are scheduled.

MPs are set to debate the Building Amendment Bill 2025.

The legislation will “amend the procedure for making regulations under the Building Act 1988 by replacing the affirmative resolution procedure with the negative resolution procedure to enable the Department of Planning to more efficiently establish qualifications and industry standards for the building trades”.

The day’s business comes with the Land Valuation and Tax (Special Provisions and Postponement of Preparation of Draft Valuation List) Act 2025, which extends the validity period of the present valuation list and postpones the preparation of the next draft list.

Also for debate is the Parliamentary Election Amendment Act 2025, which gives the Parliamentary Registrar the power to appoint office staff.

Three items are to be tabled for debate at the next sitting as MPs gear up for the summer recess.

Legislation for the protection of water resources from boat sewerage will be tabled, along with amendments to contributory pensions legislation and to the corporate income tax.
