Australian Design Rule Development Program and Public Comment
The development of the ADRs continues as part of a program which includes amendments to existing ADRs, introduction of new ADRs, as well as a full review of existing ADRs every ten years. Public comment on draft ADR amendments, draft new ADRs and draft reviews of existing ADRs is an important part of the process.
