Guidance note: The Building Code applies to all construction projects indirectly funded by the Australian Government through grants and other programs where: 

▪  the value of the Australian Government contribution to a project is at least $5 million and represents at least 50% of the total construction project value, or

▪  the Australian Government contribution to a project is at least $10 million (irrespective of its proportion of the total construction project value).

Where the Building Code applies to the Project, please liaise with the Project Legal Advisor in respect of the Building Code requirements to be specified in the Invitation for EOI.

If the Australian Government is not providing funding to the Project, then the requirements of the Building Code 2013 will not apply to the Project and this Section 8.4 (Commonwealth Building Code 2013) can be removed from the Invitation for EOI.
