Who Needs to Complete CPD in Sydney?
Every NSW-licensed builder or swimming pool/spa builder in Sydney — whether you operate in the CBD, Western Sydney, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Inner West, or anywhere across Greater Sydney — must complete 12 CPD points per year.
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 not renew your licence. It lapses. You cannot legally operate as a builder in NSW until it is reinstated. There are no extensions or exemptions for Sydney builders.

Act immediately if:
- Your licence renewal is within the next 3 months
- You have not completed any CPD this licence year
