HIA Executive Director, Victoria, Keith Ryan said the government has recognised the turbulent economic environment faced by the residential building industry by also committing to consult with industry to consider an extended transition for new National Construction Code requirements scheduled to commence from 1 October 2023 (NCC 2022).
“HIA has long called for an extended transition for implementation of the NCC 2022. There are too many questions that remain unanswered by governments about the application of these new provisions, including what happens with renovations and extensions of existing homes and building on smaller blocks of land.
“The process for considering an extended transition of NCC 2022 must proceed quickly as the next deadline is 1 October 2023. HIA will ensure the voice of industry is heard with members telling us builders and consumers need more time to prepare for the complex new NCC provisions.
“HIA urges the government to talk to industry now and act fast to finalise its decision. An extended transition period of an extra year for livable housing, energy efficiency and condensation changes will be more consistent with outcomes in other parts of Australia.
“HIA also acknowledges changes to improve domestic building contracts and insurance are needed to provide stronger protections to Victorians building or renovating their homes. This long overdue review of domestic building legislation will need to be comprehensive to ensure that the new legislation is fit for purpose and protects consumers without imposing unnecessary burdens on the home building industry.
“HIA also acknowledges the announcement by the Victorian Government of the appointment of Anna Cronin as the new CEO of the Victorian Building Authority. HIA has enjoyed a productive working relationship with Ms Cronin in her role as Commissioner for Better Regulation. We look forward to working with Anna in her new capacity,” concluded Mr Ryan.
