“This is the only sensible decision given the time industry has had to prepare for the change,” HIA Executive Director Building Policy, Shane Keating said.
The government advised registered practitioners in February NCC 2025 would go ahead on 1 May 2026.
“Not only was this not enough time for industry to transition, but circumstances have changed a lot since then.
“Bringing in more changes at a time when building product and fuel costs are surging, caused by the conflict in the Middle East, would only add to the burden faced by industry.
A special gazette released yesterday confirms the government will not adopt NCC 2025, and NCC 2022 will remain in force until the next edition of the code is published.
“The message from HIA has been consistent that now is the time to ‘do no harm‘.
“This decision provides some much-needed certainty for industry and one less thing industry needs to worry about,” concluded Mr Keating.
