Construction Industry Training Board Levy
(Only if estimated cost of Development exceeds $40,000)
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) levy must be paid if the estimated cost of development exceeds $40,000. This form should be completed by the project owner, the builder, main contractor or owner/builder. The payment must be made to the CITB and NOT to Council (as indicated on the CITB form), however the forms can be collected from the Council's front counter. Council approval cannot be given until the CITB levy is paid and a certificate is received.
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) was established under the South Australian Construction Industry Training Fund Act 1993 to implement training programs across all three sectors of the building and construction industry (Housing, Commercial and Civil). Funds for this training are paid in the form of a levy by "Project Owners" (generally the main builder or contractor or the owner builder).
The CITB collects revenue by way of a levy of 0.25 percent of the value of building and construction work (estimated cost of development). This revenue is invested back into the industry in the form of expenditure on training.
Properly structured training programs are vital if South Australia is to maintain a skilled workforce with high standards, and be internationally competitive in the construction industry.
CITB-managed or funded training is designed by the industry for the industry. Training takes place in metropolitan and regional areas, is relevant and tailored to the needs of specific sectors.
