Inquiry into Biotoxin-related illnesses.

This research project set out to review the state of digitalisation of the class 2 (multi-unit) building sector of the NSW construction industry with specific reference to the production of design drawings and as-built drawings.

Commissioned in 2017 by the Building Ministers’ Forum (BMF) to assess the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement systems for the building and construction industry across Australia and to examine a range of issues outlined in comprehensive terms of reference for their work. in particular the report focusses in a succinct way on shortcomings in the implementation of the National Construction Code (NCC).

Engineers Australia convened a building industry working group to develop a paradigm for good practice of engineers across the building sector.

The NCC is a uniform set of technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures, and plumbing and drainage systems throughout Australia. It allows for variations in climate and geological or geographic conditions.

Contains the requirements for: Class 1 and 10a buildings, and certain Class 10b structures, and Class 10c private bushfire shelters.

From 1 October 2020 to 1 April 2021, SafeWork SA undertook a compliance campaign (the campaign) focused on respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in the fabrication, construction, and mining industries; The fabrication industry included persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) using engineered and natural stone (i.e. monumental masons).

The NCC is a uniform set of technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures, and plumbing and drainage systems throughout Australia. It allows for variations in climate and geological or geographic conditions.

The Guide is a companion manual to Volume One. It is intended as a reference book for people seeking clarification, illustrations, or examples, of what are sometimes complex BCA provisions.

The Where We Build What We Build project is supporting the Resilient Hills and Coasts (RH&C) region by enabling assessment of the climate risk exposure of homes and encouraging better climate risk mitigation decisions.
