The National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 will be one of, if not the most substantial amendments to the building code since its inception. This is both in terms of the significance of the changes and the number of amendments across Volumes One, Two, and Three.
The changes will have a major impact on the design and construction of new homes, apartments, and major renovations.
To support the industry in understanding and applying these new requirements HIA has developed dedicated training sessions on the NCC Livable Housing Provisions and Waterproofing Changes.
The training will assist members with the skills and knowledge required to access, interpret and apply the NCC provisions.

How to have it all
We recognised International Women’s Day on 8 March and we celebrate women like JWH Group’s General Manager & Company Secretary, Alicia Kelly, who navigate the balance of work, family, and personal growth. Alicia believes that while women can strive to “have it all,” it’s about prioritising what matters most at any given time. Her journey shows that success is about being kind to yourself and defining it on your own terms.
