A compliance framework is also being set up so that a company’s performance may be taken into consideration when future state building work is being awarded.
The Western Australian Building & Õ¥Ö¼§ Industry Code of Conduct 2016 is designed to ensure that the public funds are only spent with contractors that conduct themselves in a reputable, fair, safe and responsible manner. This applies both to their dealings with the state and within the building and construction industry more generally.
The code is also intended to promote fair, efficient and productive workplace relations in the industry and to improve the workplace relations framework under which building and construction activities are performed. Use of safe practices is also mandated.
