adopt the Building Code of Australia (BCA) as a
certification standard for building works unless it
conflicts with the heritage values.
2.9.2 Where change is required to achieve
compliance with the BCA and/or the Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), confine those
changes, as much as possible, to areas with a low
sensitivity to change.
2.9.3 Where compliance with the BCA or DDA would
cause a significant adverse impact on the heritage
values, Old Parliament House management must
liaise with the certifier/consent authority to achieve
an outcome for the conservation of the heritage
values of Old Parliament House which adequately
satisfies the objectives of the certification standard
without unduly compromising the heritage values.
Specific tasks
Ensure contracts include appropriate
clauses to cover BCA and DDA
compliance.
