Originally planned to take effect on 1 October 2023, The Victorian Government had declared an extended transitional period for the implementation of the NCC 2022's new living housing requirements. These requirements will now be active as of 1 May 2024.

The new living housing requirements will aim to help increase the stock of Australian housing that is adaptable and better able to meet the needs of older people and people with mobility limitations.

The livable housing design requirements apply to all new Class 1a and Class 2 buildings. If you are extending or renovating an existing home, you’ll need to follow your state/territory requirements for whether or not the works need to comply with the new NCC.
