Consultation on National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 public comment draft (stage 1) is now open

Published

The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) now welcomes comment on stage 1 of the NCC 2022 public comment draft (PCD). The ABCB would also like to advise you of some changes to the public comment process.

To reduce burden on stakeholders, comment will be sought via 2 separate consultation stages.

The first stage of consultation seeks comment on all proposed NCC amendments except energy efficiency and condensation proposals that arise from project work. The public comment period for this first stage is open Monday 10 May until 11:59 PM AEST Friday 2 July 2021.

Proposed content relating to energy efficiency and condensation project work will open for comment on Monday 19 July, as the second stage of NCC 2022 PCD. You will receive another email once this consultation has opened.

Within both stages of the PCD, you'll notice the NCC's new structure and format being implemented for NCC 2022. These changes form part of the ABCB’s Improved NCC useability initiative, delivering a more user-friendly and digitally contemporary code.

Please note that feedback is not being sought on the new structure and format. Public comment is requested only on the proposed technical amendments as identified by track-change format. More information and resources are available on the ABCB's useability initiative dedicated resource page. 

Providing comment

Responses to the first stage of the PCD are invited via the ABCB’s online Consultation Hub until 11:59 PM AEST Friday 2 July 2021.

If you have a question about this consultation, please contact us
