Abstract:

As a component of the regulatory structure controlling building construction and land development in Australia, the system of building regulation was reformed during a period of significant restructuring of the Australian economy. The microeconomic reforms aimed to find efficiencies in government and industry sectors, and with respect to the latter, facilitate the development of competitive trade structures across national and global markets. The research provides a critical narrative account of the development and outcomes of the microeconomic reform of building regulation between 1990 and 20

Abstract:

This thesis conducted a holistic investigation of the impacts of National Construction Code improvements on Australian commercial building performance from the energy, economic and environmental aspects. A customisation of the Best Code was established by comparing building energy codes in selected different countries. This study demonstrates significant financial and environmental benefits that Australia could achieve through more stringent building energy codes. The findings can inform the Australian government’s consideration of National Construction Code improvements in the current Regulat

Abstract:

This study investigated the cool roof technology effects on annual energy saving of a large one-storey commercial building in Queensland, Australia. A computer model of the case study was developed using commercial software by using the appropriate geometrical and thermal building specifications. Field study data were used to validate the model. The model was then used to extend the investigation to other cities in various Australian climate zones. The results of this research show that significant energy savings can be obtained using cool roof technology, particularly in warm, sunny climates,

The interplay of forces behind globalisation, promoting trade and prosperity, and the desire for offshore trade are not fully understood. This is further complicated by the role of the political economy, global sovereignty versus national boundaries, economic status of a country and community needs.

Globalisation results in the consideration of global similarities such as standards, harmonisation of laws, international codes and the growth of international organisations.

This report investigates the parameters that influence the boundary separation tables of the present New Zealand Building Code Acceptable Solutions. From an extensive literature review of theoretical and experimental research papers, revisions are proposed to some of the parameters such as emitted radiation flame projection; limiting distance and piloted ignition flux. Using these revised parameters new boundary separation tables are presented and compared to the existing tables. The new tables result in larger boundary separation (but similar separations between buildings) and potential areas

In the early years of the 21st century environmental health has to contend not only with the more 'traditional' and essentially localised environmental risks to human health. We now face the additional challenges posed by a range of 'modern' environmental health issues. These are characteristically more complex, more ubiquitous, and much less clearly defined than any we have previously encountered. They have been brought about through rapid industrial expansion, technological advances that have transformed our social structures and the emergence of a global economy that is now forging ahead in

This project intended to investigate the presence, diversity, community structure and role of coral-associated microbes in Ningaloo Reef spawning and brooding corals. Different coral life stages were assessed.

This study of the early years of football in Western Australia investigates the reasons for the abandonment of the Rugby Union rules and the adoption of the new Victorian rules in 1885.

This changed in 1882 when the first clubs were formed and the Rugby Union rules were adopted. Advocates for the Victorian rules were immediately active, claiming the British

Abstract:

The seismic analysis of tall buildings requires nonlinear analysis in order to determine their behaviour in a more realistic manner. Nonlinear analysis necessitates the input of suitable ground motions records that represent the hazard at the site of the building. Finding appropriate ground motions is an arduous task, mainly because there are not enough records that are compatible with the hazard level prescribed in the codes for the site of the building. Therefore, existing records must be modified somehow to match the target hazard. The National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) provides guidel

Fossil fuelintensive companies are coming under increasing pressure to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). The political environment surrounding climate change and the evolution of the carbon market are complex and in a fluid state of play. Uncertainty exists with respect to government policy, greenhouse (GH) accounting standards, interaction with stakeholders and the capacity to commoditise carbon emissions, making it difficult for companies to determine exactly how to build their internal capacity to deal with a shifting external situation. In Australia and the United States in

Abstract:

School connectedness, defined as the cohesiveness between diverse groups in the school community, including students, families, school staff and the wider community, is a well-documented protective factor for child and adolescent health. However, strategies for promoting school connectedness are less well known. The Western Gateway Health Promoting Schools Grant Scheme is a program that aims to increase school connectedness by using the health promoting school approach in disadvantaged communities in South-East Queensland, Australia. The scheme provides an opportunity for schools to apply for

This thesis presents a conceptual analysis of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) from a change management perspective. The conceptual analysis identifies three principal change management models that have implicitly underpinned the operation of the BCA: logical incrementalism, emergent strategy and co-participative change management. It notes a shift of emphasis in the BCA as it has sought to change from an essentially reactive prescriptive code to one that embraces greater flexibility and proactivity. In order to identify the operational strengths and weaknesses of each of the change manag
