BAF Consulting on behalf of the ABCB invites you to register for the
National Construction Code 2012
Information Seminars
Your opportunity to hear about the National Construction Code (NCC) from the experts
The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) is finalising updates to the 2012 National Construction Code (NCC), and as building and plumbing industry practitioners you need to know what changes are coming into effect. Presenters from the ABCB will inform you of these changes at a series of Information Seminars, commencing in February 2012, in a capital city near you.
The National Seminar series will play an important role in raising practitioner awareness of both Building Code of Australia (BCA) and Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) amendments scheduled for 2012. An opportunity not to be missed, the Seminars will also feature a presentation by Standards Australia, on recently amended Australian Standards.
The seminars will be divided into two sessions, which will provide an opportunity for practitioners to hear about relevant aspects of the consolidated code and how it will affect their work. Standards Australia will present at both the morning and afternoon sessions.
BCA Seminars, 9.30am – 12.30pm (includes Standards Australia presentation)
Morning seminars in all capital cities focusing on changes to the BCA and Australian Standards.
PCA Seminars, 2.30pm - 4.30pm (includes Standards Australia presentation)
Afternoon seminars in all capital cities focusing on changes to the PCA and Australian Standards.
Don’t miss out – the NCC takes effect on 1 May 2012
Please note that the BCA and PCA sessions are being conducted independently and a separate registration form must be completed for each seminar.
