The Building Ministers’ Forum (BMF) requested an expert assessment of the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement systems for the building and construction industry.

The BMF appointed Professor Peter Shergold AC and Ms Bronwyn Weir to co-lead the assessment. Our department provided assistance.

Broad stakeholder consultation was undertaken to consider issues impacting the effective implementation of the National Construction Code.

The report provides a package of reforms to establish a national best practice model for compliance and enforcement.

The Building Ministers’ Forum changed to the Building Ministers’ Meeting in 2020.
