Research Focus of the CIBE project
• What is the extent of regulation affecting the construction industry?
– Every stage of the construction process and many aspects of organisational life are regulated by multiple spheres of government
• How can this situation be improved?

What are the regulatory costs borne by industry?
– Three types of costs • Direct costs• Indirect costs• Adaptation costs
– Working with the Productivity Commission (along with other industry organisations) to quantify costs associated with regulation of the construction industry

What could be done to improve the situation?
Is there likely to be a reduction in:• Direct costs
– unlikely • Indirect costs
– unlikely • Adaptation Costs
– area which holds the most promise for cost reduction

CIBE - Thematic case studies• Occupational health and safety
• Standards and codes of practice • e-Business
• Improved Development Application processes in South East Queensland
• Procurement• Institutional arrangements in Australian jurisdictions
• Sustainable built environment• A Sustainability Charter and Sustainability Commissioner

How can increased alignment of regulation between jurisdictions be achieved?
• Option 1 — Unilateral Exercise of Power by the Commonwealth
• Option 2 — States give their powers to the Commonwealth (reference of power)
• Option 3 — Adoption / Incorporation by Reference• Option 4 — Complementary or Mirror Legislation • Option 5 — Mutual Recognition• Option 6 — Agreed Legislation/Policies• Option 7 — Non-Binding National Standards Model• Option 8 — Exchange of Information• Option 9 — Independent Unilateralism

Occupational Health and Safety Case Study
• Examining the NOHSC Standards
• The presentation today is a work in progress – mainly reviewed the existing legislation, policies and standards for OH&S
• Much of the interviews with industry, government and unions have yet to be undertaken. Story may change somewhat before the research is completed

Next phase of research
• Discussions with industry, government and unions concerning the current status of regulations
• Development of a rationale as to why the differences persist
• Working theories (which have yet to be proven)– Race to the bottom– Reflexivity– Sovereignty
