Modification History
QUT, as a statutory authority constituted in terms of the
Queensland
University
of
Technology
Act
1998
(the QUT Act) and under Queensland legislation, must
comply with relevant building and financial legislation, principally
-
the QUT Act, in particular Schedule 1 to the Act concerning Control of
Traffic and Conduct on University Land
-
the
Building Act 1975
(Qld) (including the
Standard Building
Regulation
1993 and the
Building Code of Australia 2005
).
The University performs the duties of a local authority, as defined in
the Building Act
,
for building works carried out for University
purposes.
-
the
Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995
(Qld), the
WHS
(Miscellaneous) Regulation 1995
, the
WHS Regulation 1997
,
the
WHS Codes of Practice
and the
WHS Industry Codes of Practice
(see
http://www.whs.qld.gov.au/index.htm
). These
also refer to relevant Australian Standards and national guidelines (see
section
A/9.1
).
-
the
Electrical Safety Act and Regulation 2002
(Qld)
-
the
Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977
(Qld) and the
associated
Financial Management Standard 1997
. Of particular significance
is the adoption by the University of the provisions of the State Procurement
Policy, issued in accordance with the Financial Management Standard, as a
guide to its purchasing decisions. These provisions impact on the procurement
of works and services and require the University to ensure that accountable
and competitive practices are employed with a view to obtaining value for
money in the supply of all goods and services (see Chapter
G
, and
the
Financial
Management Practice and Procedures Manual
). The Financial Management
Standard also requires strategic planning for physical assets.
the
Integrated Planning Act 1997
(Qld) - the University has achieved
the designation of the majority of its land as community infrastructure under
the Integrated Planning Act. This designation expires on 19 April 2006 . The
exact lots of land which have been designated vary from time to time and are
available from Facilities Management. Developments on designated land do not
require Brisbane City Council approval, providing they are in accordance with
the approved QUT Master Plan which has been developed in consultation with the
Brisbane City Council and other stakeholders.
