Building Ministers' Meeting

The Building Ministers' Meeting (BMM) comprises Commonwealth, state and territory Building Ministers. The BMM oversees policy issues affecting Australia's building and construction industries. The BMM works to ensure Australia's buildings are fit for the changing climate, and to discuss the issues facing the building industry. The Australian Building Code Board (ABCB) Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) describes decision-making requirements of the BMM. It states decisions are based on consensus of attendees, and in the event of a tied vote on a decision outcome between the 8 state and territory governments, the Chair casts the deciding vote. The current ABCB IGA is available on the ABCB website: https://abcb.gov.au/sites/default/files/resources/2022/ABCB-IGA-2020.pdf
