The Architects Accreditation Council of Australia (AACA) has given the news of a free trade agreement between Australia and the United Kingdom a ringing endorsement, believing it will benefit industry professionals in both nations.
AACA CEO Kathlyn Loseby says the deepening of ties will create a range of opportunities that were unable to be accessed before the trade agreement was reached.
“We congratulate both the Australian and UK governments on reaching this important agreement and thank DFAT for the inclusive and constructive role they have facilitated for us as part of this process,” she says.
“In addition to the substantial benefits trade liberalisation will deliver for both producers and consumers, the FTA also opens up critical opportunities for a range of professionals, including architects.
