This unit will give you the opportunity to examine and apply the National Construction Code (NCC) and associated legislation to Building Class 2 to 9 projects. You will learn about statutory controls and assessment; enforcement proceedings; how Australian Standards, government Acts and other industry codes interact with the NCC; and the application of the principles of performance-based legislation. You should have completed an introductory construction legislation unit to ensure adequate level of entry knowledge. Students who have successfully completed BLSV13021 should not enrol in this unit.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Staff Feedback

Integrating real-world case studies and industry-relevant questions into the unit content and assessments significantly enhanced the practical value of the learning experience.

Continue to embed real-world case studies and industry-relevant scenarios throughout the unit content and assessments. Expand this approach by incorporating recent projects, industry guest speakers, or collaborative activities with construction professionals where possible. This will further strengthen the unit’s relevance, enhance student preparedness for the workplace, and maintain high engagement and satisfaction levels.

Feedback from Student Feedback

The use of pre-recorded lecture videos supported student engagement by allowing flexible access to content and helped optimise tutorial sessions by freeing up time for discussion, clarification, and applied learning activities.

It is recommended to continue providing pre-recorded lecture videos in future offerings, as they enhance student engagement and allow tutorial time to be used more effectively for interactive learning and support.

Feedback from Staff Feedback

The unit content was well aligned with the learning outcomes of the CC61, CC62, and CB99 programs, allowing students to see clear connections between the unit material and their chosen field of study. This relevance enhanced student engagement and supported the development of course-specific knowledge and skills.

It is recommended to continue emphasising the practical relevance of the unit to students’ enrolled programs, ensuring content remains aligned with industry expectations and professional pathways.

Feedback from Staff Feedback

Student participation in the unit evaluation was low this term, which limited the ability to obtain conclusive insights and a comprehensive understanding of the student experience.

To increase student participation in unit evaluations, more emphasis will be placed on promoting the importance of their feedback through in-class reminders, Moodle announcements, and personal encouragement during lectures.
