In recognition of the significant global economic challenges that the building industry is experiencing, the Victorian Government’s Minister for Planning has announced that the transitional period for the NCC 2022 energy efficiency requirements has been extended to a revised mandatory commencement date of 1 May 2024.
Previously due to commence, 1 October 2023, the requirements include an increase from 6 to 7-star NatHERS energy rating and a new Whole Of Home (WOH) assessment rating out of 100.
The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) state that the extension will provide those builders who need it, more time to prepare, while still encouraging voluntary compliance with the standards.
This comes at a time when the Federal Government announced a $2 billion Social Housing Accelerator with a commitment to deliver thousands of new social homes across Australia.
Further information on the NCC 2022 state and territory adoption dates is available on the ABCB website.
