Where an owner would like to undertake any proposed works over the value of $20,000 then that owner needs to complete an Owner Builder Statutory Declaration (OBSD) and submit it to the Building Services Board along with the appropriate application fee. This OBSD form can be obtained by downloading the document from the Building Commission's website. The Owner Builder Statutory Declaration is to be submitted directly to the Building Commission.
