Discussion paper: National Registration Framework for Building Practitioners

unsure: Watching the Sixty Minutes program on Channel 9 on Sunday 8 Aug 2020, does somewhat, provide confidence. However the Commissioner appointed is only in NSW. The industry need, an Australian Medical Association model, where a chief commissioner presides over the NCC and each State there own BCA. This will ensure transparency across Australia, and each State only managing the BCA, for that State. If any building NCC regulations or compliance are violated then it becomes a Federal issue. If a BCA regulation or compliance issue is violated then it becomes a State issue.

As per my explantion above, this must be driven from a Federal position with the Sates falling inline.

NO. Not if it is state driven. It must be a Federal initiative with the States only responsible for the BCA.

Project Managers must work with Builder, Engineer, Site Manager, Building Inspector/Surveyor and the Owner. The Project Manager must communicate the Codes and Standards to this group.

The Project Manger should endure that the Contract is fully compliant, HIA or MBA with no dekletions or additions without agreement by all parties.
