Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has presented a variety of significant challenges for the building industry, regulators and consumers, Building Ministers have agreed to a four-month delay to the adoption of the 2022 edition of the National Construction Code (NCC).
NCC 2022 is now expected to be adopted by states and territories from 1 September 2022.
The delayed adoption will also see adjustments to key dates in the amendment cycle process for NCC 2022 to allow stakeholders time to participate.
These adjusted dates include:
- May – July 2021: NCC 2022 Public Comment Draft released for public consultation
- May 2022: NCC 2022 Preview published at ncc.abcb.gov.au
If you have any questions regarding the delayed adoption of NCC 2022, please submit an online enquiry.
