It is important you notify the Office of Fair Trading's Home Building Service in writing as soon as possible when you have complied with an order (for example, when you have done the work or paid the money).  Correspondence should be addressed to: 

RAAU, Home Building Service
Office of Fair Trading
PO Box 972
Parramatta NSW 2124
Fax: (02) 9895 0843

If you do not notify the Home Building Service on or before the date by which the order was required to be complied with, the public register (kept under section 120 of the Home Building Act 1989) will show that you have failed to comply with the order, even if you actually have.

What happens if you do not comply with the order?

If you have an outstanding work order you may be unable to renew your licence when it expires.  From 1 April 2009 if you have an unpaid money order issued by the CTTT, your licence can be suspended 28 days after the due date for payment. 

You can be fined up to $22,000 if you falsely claim you have complied with a CTTT order.

For further information about home building licences, contact the Office of Fair Trading on 13 32 20.
