The Shergold-Weir Building Confidence Report (BCR) was commissioned by Building Ministers in August 2017 and delivered in February 2018. The report focused on actions to improve the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement systems for the building and construction industry across Australia. Of the 24 recommendations made in the report, the ACT is still considering 12 for potential implementation.
The ACT has fully implemented eleven of the recommendations and partially implemented nine. Three further recommendations are under consideration, while recommendation five is not relevant to the ACT.
During the 2024-25 financial year, work continued to be progressed on consideration of the recommendations and how they may be implemented into the ACT’s building regulatory system.
