282A: Purposes of licensing building practitioners
or “Licensing building practitioners helps check and record their skills, and allows them to do or watch over special building jobs.”
You could also call this:

“The Board and Registrar must follow specific rules when making decisions about people.”

When the Board and the Registrar make decisions under this Part, they need to follow some important rules. They must tell you in writing about their decision and explain why they made it. They have to be fair and follow the rules of natural justice. They also need to follow any procedures that are in the rules and do what the regulations say. These rules are there to make sure decisions are made properly and that you understand what’s happening.
