The Government has announced that it will be imposing penalties on developers, investors and home builders who breach building regulations.
State Minister for Local Government Reform Robert Montaque Tuesday told Parliament that a range of penalties will be introduced in a bid to stamp out illegal practices.
He said the penalties will also apply to persons who submit incomplete building plans to parish councils.
"But I must issue a word of warning to all our developers, investors, home builders and architects that we will be recovering the full cost to remedy any breach of the building code,"
"Likewise for those who continually send in incomplete plans a penalty will be applied to them. The councils have borne too much bad name for their incompetence they are going to have to pay to learn," he said.
He said as part of the reform process the Government will accelerate and digitalize the title processing system as well as reduce fees.
