As of 1 May 2024, Victoria and Queensland have officially adopted the National Construction Code (NCC 2022). This follows the lead of New South Wales, Northern Territory, Tasmania, and the ACT, who have already implemented these standards.

Key Changes and Requirements

• Energy Efficiency: The NCC 2022 introduces changes to energy efficiency requirements, particularly for Class 2 buildings. These buildings will now require a thermal performance rating of at least 7 stars on average.
• Quality, Safety and Sustainability: The primary goal of these changes is to enhance the quality, safety and sustainability of new residential buildings.
• Fire Safety and Accessibility: Additionally, the NCC 2022 includes updated regarding fire safety measures and accessible home design.

Resources and Support

• Resources: To help you meet these new standards, the NCC 2022 provides a range of resources that can be accessed here.
• Roll-out Schedule: For information on the roll-out schedule in all states and territories, please visit here.
