Licensing..........

Anyone else seen the ad's in the paper advising of a new federal licensing system to replace state "tickets" for high risk occupations? Does anyone know the guts of it? Does it affect tree work? Cheers, Kevin

Bloke down the pub told me the local councils will have registered/licensed tree companys and permits to remove trees will be issued only to them,Not sure if its correct but it could well be.

It was a hard copy ad in the paper, I couldn't find it on line. I'll look again today & scan it if I find it again. The gist of it was that they are doing away with state issued tickets like EWP etc & issuing commonwealth licences to replace them. Not sure if chainsaws are included, but suspect they may be.
