Building Code of Australia - NCC 2022

NCC 2022 will be the next and arguably the most significant amendment to the national building code since its inception. 

All in all NCC 2022 is shaping up as the largest single amendments of any past amendments both in terms of the volume of changes and the scope and impact of the proposed reforms, particularly for houses and low-rise apartments.

The proposed changes, which will significantly affect all residential buildings, include:

  • introduction of mandatory accessible housing provisions

  • increases in energy efficiency stringency

  • new condensation provisions

  • further changes to Acceptable Construction Practices (Volume Two ACPs)

  • changes to waterproofing and weatherproofing

  • further changes to fire safety provisions in high-rise buildings

  • enhanced building product documentation requirements

  • new lead in plumbing products standards

  • re-structuring of NCC Volume Two and re-numbering of all NCC clauses

  • implementing relevant NCC changes resulting from the Shergold/Weir Building Confidence Report (building product changes and complex buildings).
