The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) have announced preview and adoption dates for the release of the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022.
- 9 May 2022 – Preview available at ncc.abcb.gov.au (excluding energy efficiency and condensation)
- 1 September 2022 – Adoption by states and territories
We are ready to support our customers with the coming move from a 6 to 7 star residential Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) requirement. Here’s an interesting NatHERS guide to achieving 7-star-house-plans
The following dates have been announced by the ABCB for further information on the NCC Volume 1 and 2 changes:
- Canberra – 20 July, National Museum of Australia
- Melbourne – 26 & 27 July, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre
- Hobart – 28 July, Hobart Function & Convention Centre
- Brisbane – 2 & 3 August, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
- Darwin – 4 August, Darwin Convention Centre
- Sydney – 9 & 10 August, Sydney Masonic Centre
- [NEW] Webinar – 16 August, Online
- Adelaide – 23 August, Adelaide Convention Centre
- Perth – 25 August, Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre
For those interested, ABCB will also be hosting, for the first time, a live webinar session of the seminar content online. The webinar will follow the same agenda as the face-to-face session, and include the ability for attendees to ask questions about NCC 2022 changes.
Booking information for all sessions will be available in April 2022.
Note that The May preview of NCC 2022 will not include energy efficiency and condensation amendments as these have not yet been endorsed by Building Ministers. Practitioners can still expect a preview of these amendments prior to adoption – and we will provide more information on that timing as it becomes available.
