Our Board Chair, Glenys Beauchamp AO PSM, and I attended the recent Building Ministers’ Meeting. At this meeting Ministers agreed to add climate resilience as an objective of the ABCB in the next Intergovernmental Agreement. I gave an update on our work to support the increased use of modular and prefabricated methods. Ministers also received a briefing on the benefits of developing a new national register of building products.
Lastly, on 30 July, Glenys and I will be in Sydney for the next event in our public forum series. Join us at the ABCB Forum to ask questions you have about the work of the ABCB. We’ll also discuss the ABCB business plan and give updates on other topics. – Read more in this month’s CEO update
