The 2019-20 Business Plan comprises ABCB core business projects as well as several key pieces of work that have been identified as a priority by the Building Ministers' Forum. This includes the decision of the BMF to expand the remit of the ABCB for a limited period to accommodate the development of a National Framework for the consistent implementation of the Building Confidence Report’s (BCR) recommendations. This will be in addition to on-going analysis of key BMF policy directions and potential improvements to the technical content of the Code, with a vision towards NCC 2022 of improved building outcomes, increased confidence in the industry and public trust in the safety of buildings.

Other priority projects for 2019-20 include the development of out-of-cycle NCC amendment, implementation of a program of enhanced education, consultation and impact assessment on accessible housing and scoping work for amending the residential energy efficiency provisions.

Further information about all of the Board’s projects can be found in the 2019-20 Business Plan.
