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.
Policy endorsed by HIA National Policy Congress: May 2015; Re-endorsed 2020

All Hands on Deck
Trade shortages loom as a major threat to the Housing Accord’s target of building 1.2 million homes over the next five years. The target equates to an average of 240,000 homes per annum and Australia has only come close to this level of home building on two occasions in the past. The first was in a single year at the peak of the apartment boom of the mid-2010s (232,000 in 2016), and the second was for a single year at the peak of the COVID era cycle (228,000 in 2021).
