The Victorian Building Planning and Heritage Legislation Amendment Bill 2022 will make a number of changes to the Architects Act 1991 which regulates the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV).
Clause 88 of the bill overhauls Section 47 of the Architects Act which sets out the current 10-member board’s composition and appointment process.
We need your help to support a campaign by emailing or speaking with your lower house (Legislative Assembly) or upper house (Legislative Council) member.
The way local and interstate architects work in New South Wales has changed.
The DBP Act and Regulation are a key part of the NSW Government response to the Shergold Weir Report. They’re aimed at overhauling the building and construction industry to restore public confidence and ensure quality and safety outcomes.

We launched our Hands off Anzac Hall campaign on 7 November 2018, opposing plans to demolish this award-winning building.
The Australian War Memorial is hell-bent on demolishing Anzac Hall as part of its extravagant $500 million redevelopment plans.
As architects, we are passionate about preserving Australia’s heritage and honouring our national history, nowhere more so than the extraordinary service and sacrifice of the servicemen and women. Destroying such an investment – of effort, culture, and family memories – is a waste and mark of disrespect.
