The National Construction Code is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments developed to incorporate all on-site building and plumbing requirements into a single code.
The NCC sets the minimum requirements for the design, construction and performance of buildings throughout Australia and is adopted at State or Territory Level, including into our VictorianĀ Building Interim Regulations.Ā The NCC Complete Series contains 5 documents:
- Volume OneĀ (Amendment 1) – contains the requirements for Class 2 to 9 (multi-residential, commercial, industrial and public) buildings and structures.
- Volume TwoĀ – contains the requirements for Class 1 (residential) and Class 10 (non-habitable) buildings and structures.
- Volume ThreeĀ – contains the requirements for plumbing and drainage for all classes of buildings.
- The GuideĀ – a companion manual to Volume One, which contains the requirements for Class 2 to 9 (multi-residential, commercial and industrial and public) buildings and structures. The Guide provides clarification, illustration and examples for complex NCC provisions and should be read in conjunction withĀ NCC Volume One BCA.
- Consolidated Performance RequirementsĀ – provides a compilation of all NCC Performance Requirements and the supporting General Requirements in a single document.
