• Wherever possible, all consultants, including but not limited to architects, designers, engineers, and other advisers should preference solutions that maximise the use of locally sourced materials, finishes, products, goods, and services in construction, including fittings, fixtures, and equipment. This includes priority consideration of materials and products that may improve resource efficiency, minimise waste, enhance performance and/or overall sustainability outcomes through:
  • recycled content;
  • reduced embodied carbon;
  • adoption of modern methods of construction (MMC) (such as prefabricated, modular and/or offsite manufactured components)
  • bitumen replacement products within bitumen and asphalt.
