The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the next edition of the National Construction Code. These changes are shown in the NCC Public Comment Draft. A list of changes is also available.

Submissions provided will help inform the final version for regulatory consideration. Feedback on the NCC Public Comment Draft must be submitted by 11:59pm AEST 1 July 2024.

To help understand the changes, detailed information on each of the major changes is available on the ABCB website.

The ABCB will be hosting a series of Roadshow events in May and June 2024, to share information and answer questions about the proposed changes to the next edition of the NCC. Two plumbing webinars are also available which will cover the proposed plumbing changes in more detail. Register your attendance.

The NCC Public Comment Draft consultation is a crucial part of the NCC development process. Public consultation is essential to help meet the changing needs for Australian buildings and their occupants. The NCC Public Comment Draft is one of many steps that goes into the NCC development cycle.
