What else is still to come for New NCC Changes?

Further to our top 6 must-know changes, the second stage release preview is expected to be available in August 2022 and will contain changes to energy efficiency and condensation mitigation.

When do the new changes come into effect?

The New NCC 2022 will be adopted for use from the 1st of September 2022, which means that
building applications lodged to your certifier on or after that date will be assessed using the
NCC 2022.

Sandra will be attending a seminar by the ABCB related to the changes in the NCC and we
hope to be able to in turn provide a seminar to our valued clients and colleagues in August
2022 to explain these major changes.

Stay tuned for further information.
