Designers, including but not limited to architects, engineers and other specialists, must endeavour to specify locally developed and manufactured materials, products and technology to avoid designing out local suppliers as far as possible.

The Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board (MFB) and its contractor(s) will work with local industry, the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, the Industry Capability Network (ICN) and the Uniforms and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Monitor to grow the local supply chain over the life of the contract consistent with its Operational Staff Enterprise Agreement.
