NCC to be paused: Building Ministers’ Meeting
Subject
Building Ministers agreed to pause further residential changes to the NCC and acknowledged it as a constructive step in improving productivity in residential construction and boosting the supply of new homes. Pausing further changes, following the finalisation of NCC 2025, will provide certainty to industry, allowing builders to invest with confidence in workforce development and innovation‑related activities. Building Ministers agreed that the exemption would only apply to serious issues and changes that could not be deferred until the next edition of the code.
