Following Government approval, the Department is preparing legislation to give effect to the new national property services regulatory authority. In the interim, I am proceeding with arrangements to facilitate the establishment of the new authority at an early date. The new regulatory authority will be responsible for the licensing and regulation of a range of property services including auctioneering, estate agency, property letting and property management agencies.
