Infrastructure Standing Committee Meets

RISSB’s Standing Committees discuss significant industry issues to assist in the development of Australian Standards, Codes of Practice, Guidelines and Rules. The Infrastructure Standing Committee (ISC) met last week to discuss a range of topics, including project updates, the 2022/23 RISSB work plan, change requests submitted by industry, and the current progress within aspects of RISSB's Major Projects portfolio. The meeting also gave the current RISSB representative and Standards Development Manager (SDM), Sudha Niles, an opportunity to hand over to fellow SDM Cris Fitzhardinge, who will assist the ISC going forward.
