National Consistency in Technical and Administrative Systems
Project output - Facilitate a nationally consistent approach to building regulations through interaction with existing national forums and facilitate alignment of regulatory objectives and provisions in cooperation with other control authorities.
The ABCB plays a facilitative role in the following initiatives:
- National Forum of Building Appeals Tribunals;
- Australian Building Certification Forum (ABCF).
The ABCB will also continue its involvement in other activities that facilitate a nationally consistent approach to building regulations. Specific actions include Office liaison with a range of forums and projects including Builders Licensing Australasia, National Accreditation Framework for building certifiers, the Development Assessment Forum, CodeMark and the development of a variety of administrative protocols and guidelines.
This project also recognises that there are a number of other regulatory systems that have the potential to interact with building regulation or influence building design and construction, for example, planning, workplace health and safety, utilities and plumbing regulation. Monitoring initiatives of other control authorities and seeking opportunities for co-regulatory solutions is important in achieving good regulatory outcomes.
