NCC 2022 have been adopted by states and territories on 1 May 2023.
Transitional arrangements for the following specific requirements in Victoria:
New livable housing requirements commence 1 October 2023
New energy efficiency and condensation mitigation requirements commence 1 October 2023
New lead-free plumbing product requirements commence 1 September 2025.
The transitional arrangements will allow practitioners to continue using the relevant provisions of NCC 2019until the end of the relevant transition period.
Energy efficiency and condensation mitigation requirements
The ABCB is updating the NCC to strengthen minimum requirements for the energy efficiency of new homes. The new energy efficiency and condensation mitigation requirements commence in Victoria on 1 October 2023.
The changes will make homes cheaper to run, more comfortable to live in and more resilient to extreme weather.
Victoria will also remove barriers to installation of efficient electric hot water systems, helping households to capture further benefits from investing in solar panels, and supporting those who choose all-electric new homes.
