Strategic Review of the BCA against COAG Principles
Purpose
To reduce the regulatory burden by clarifying BCA requirements, or removing BCA provisions that are redundant or excessive when assessed against the COAG principles of good regulation.
Description
Reduction of regulatory burden is an aim of COAG and the Inter-Governmental Agreement which establishes the ABCB. The aim of this project is to provide stakeholders with the opportunity to identify BCA provisions they believe are redundant, excessive or unclear, when assessed under the COAG principles of good regulation. The COAG Principles and Guidelines for National Standard Setting and Regulatory Action by Ministerial Councils and Standard-Setting Bodies set the standard for good regulation.
In March 2007, a consultation document was released for public comment. The responses informed the Board on how the BCA could be improved to make the code more consistent with the COAG Principles. The Final Report is now publicly available.
