The ABCB has 2 primary technical advisory committees, Building Codes Committee (BCC) and the Plumbing Code Committee (PCC).
The PCC is a valuable national forum for regulatory authorities and industry to work collectively and collaboratively to consider technical matters relevant to plumbing regulation reform. It plays an active role in assisting the Board, through the Office, in achieving sound technical plumbing regulation outcomes. As a technical advisory committee it is not responsible for making final decisions in relation to the content of the PCA or matters of policy direction.
The BCC and PCC operate in alignment to ensure a coordinated approach to building and plumbing regulatory reform.
