What matters for inspections & compliance in Burnie

  • Tasmania registers cooling towers and warm water systems as regulated systems through the local council under the Public Health Act 1997, not through a state agency. The owner must keep the system operated and maintained so it does not pose a threat to public health, with a fine of up to 100 penalty units if they do not.

  • Tasmania scrapped the annual fire safety check. The Building Act 2016 replaced it with an approved schedule of maintenance for the building's essential building services, prepared by the owner and approved by a building surveyor, with maintenance done to that schedule rather than simply once a year.

  • Tasmania licenses trades through Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS), and its free public register lets you search electricians, plumbers, gas-fitters, auto gas-fitters, builders, architects, engineers, building designers, building services designers and building surveyors. The register only shows current licence holders.

  • If your block sits in a bushfire, landslip, coastal inundation, coastal erosion or riverine inundation hazard area, work that would be low risk anywhere else is lifted to notifiable work and a building surveyor has to assess it. Check the hazard overlays with your council before you price a job.
