Telecommunications in the National Construction Code
HIA’s Position statement
- Telecommunication provisions for Class 1a buildings should not be mandated in the National Construction Code (NCC).
- Subject to a favourable regulatory impact statement, HIA may support mandatory telecommunication provisions for Class 2 to 9 buildings.
Background
- Following the move to incorporate plumbing requirements into the National Construction Code (NCC), work is now underway to introduce gas fitting and telecommunications’ work into the Code.
- Progress on gas fitting is extremely slow due to the lack of support from the states and territories at this time.
- Work on telecommunications is moving ahead, due to the impact this has on the roll-out of the NBN, along with the general increase in telecommunication infrastructure being installed in buildings.
- The focus is on pathways and spaces being dedicated within buildings as part of the design process to avoid installation problems once a building has been constructed.
