“Over recent years the NCC alongside other major building, safety, small business, and planning reforms has increased ten-fold and is creating significant regulatory burden on industry.
“Businesses and particularly small business are struggling under the weight of these reforms, and they are hampering the delivery of new homes.
“The most recent NCC 2022 changes were the single biggest amendments to the code in history and added significant additional cost and complexity to building for builders and homeowners. These were also introduced at a time when cost of living pressures is locking more Tasmanian’s out of housing.
“This initiative to place a reset on further significant rule changes and move to an extended amendment cycle for the NCC will provide greater certainty to the industry and let builders get on with the job of building the homes Australian’s desperately need.
“Equally, this will enable the Tasmanian Government to work with industry on simplifying the code and providing a greater focus on education, training and upskilling, as the code and associated standards over the past decade have doubled in volume and complexity.
“HIA is committed to continuing to work with the Tasmanian Government to identify options to further reduce unnecessary additional regulatory burden and bring down costs for consumers as well as maintaining the balance of high quality housing and proportional regulatory settings,” concluded Mr Collins.
