Across Australia, communities are experiencing more natural hazards causing millions of dollars in damages every year which is set to increase with the effects of climate change. In Australia we have historically built our homes next to natural features for lifestyle reasons, which due to proximity also increases our exposure and risk.
The aim of this project is to look at the current building standards and guidance across multi-hazards. It would be suggested to look across multiple states that are prone to different hazards and include but not limited to NSW, QLD, ACT, South Australia and Tasmania.
