Who Needs to Complete CPD in Newcastle?
Any NSW-licensed builder or swimming pool/spa builder based in Newcastle, Maitland, Cessnock, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, or anywhere in the Hunter Valley must complete 12 CPD points per year. This applies to every active contractor licence holder.
CPD is mandatory for these NSW licence types:
- Contractor Licence — Builder (residential)
- Contractor Licence — Swimming Pool/Spa Builder
- Building Professional licence
If your CPD is incomplete at renewal, NSW Fair Trading will refuse to renew your licence. It lapses. You cannot legally operate as a builder in NSW until it is reinstated. No geographic exemptions apply — this includes every Newcastle and Hunter Valley builder.
