Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1173 asked in the Legislative Council on 22 October 2020 by Hon Tim Clifford

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION CODE

1173. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the minister representing the Minister for Housing:

I note that the Minister for Commerce's response to question without notice 585 states that either the 2019 or the 2016 National Construction Code could be implemented in response to the preferences of Western Australian customers. Given that the state government is the customer for the new social housing builds committed to in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 financial years, can the minister please confirm that these builds will be constructed in line with the 2019 National Construction Code to guarantee maximum safety and energy efficiency for WA's most vulnerable?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Housing.

All new construction undertaken by the Department of Communities is now required to meet the 2019 National Construction Code.
