Building industry participants in the Wheatbelt are invited to a free information seminar about important changes coming up in the Building Code of Australia (BCA) 2019 edition.
The half-day session, on Tuesday, March 12 in Northam, is presented by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety’s Building and Energy team.
The seminar aims to help builders, building surveyors, architects, designers and others in the building sector understand the BCA changes as well as amendments to State building legislation.
Building commissioner Ken Bowron said the seminar is an excellent opportunity for practitioners to gain first-hand knowledge about important changes to the BCA and WA’s Building Regulations 2012.
“The BCA was previously updated annually and the 2019 seminars will be the first since the switch to a three-year amendment cycle, meaning it’s an ideal time to come along and find out what’s changed,” he said.
The session is relevant to all building types, with a particular focus on residential construction and navigating the BCA’s new-look structure and layout.
It will be run from 9am to 12.30pm at Northam Recreation Centre with refreshments provided.
Places at the free seminar are limited so registration is essential.
Please visit Building and Energy’s events and seminars page or phone 1300 489 099 or email be.events@dmirs.wa.gov.au to register.
