Following resolutions passed at the 2025 Pipe Bands Australia Conference, amendments to the Pipe Bands Australia Contest Regulations will come into effect on 1 March 2026.

The updated Regulations are now available in the National Document Library to allow bands, adjudicators and contest organisers sufficient time to review and prepare ahead of their commencement date.

For clarity:

  • The current version of the Contest Regulations remains in force until 28 February 2026.
  • The new version will take effect from 1 March 2026.

Members were previously advised of the impending changes following the 2025 Conference. This notice serves as a formal reminder of the commencement date and availability of the updated document.
