"Securing the Zone"

This presentation provides an overview of the Security Construction and Equipment Committee (SCEC) National Constuction Code - Building Code of Australia (NCC-BCA) guidelines, with the added challengers to incorporate acoustic security requirements in secure facilities. Attendees will gain insight into the key principles of physical and acoustic security, including the Zone system, construction standards, and the role of certified acoustic treatments in preventing sensitive information compromise. The session will explore compliance obligations, integration of SCEC and BCA provisions into design and construction workflows, and practical considerations for architects, engineers, and project managers working on secure government infrastructure.
