A Victoria panel's plan to shift construction pay oversight to union-linked Incolink was dropped over conflict-of-interest concerns.
A Victorian government panel considered transferring oversight of a key construction disputes panel, which sets pay and conditions for major projects, to Incolink, a union-linked redundancy fund.
The plan, approved by the panel but later abandoned by Incolink by early 2025, raised concerns over conflicts of interest due to Incolink’s ties to the CFMEU and its financial relationship with Master Builders Victoria.
The disputes panel, which helps determine site allowances contributing to high worker earnings, operates under the Fair Work Act.
Critics argued the move could undermine fairness for small contractors, while questions persist about the independence of the process and the lack of ASIC oversight for redundancy funds.
The BICC continues reviewing governance options.
