Tasmanian Livable Housing Design: final stage 1 October 2026
Builders will need to consider step-free access paths, gradients and widths, parking space dimensions and whether the site qualifies for an exemption.
There are also additional requirements at the dwelling entrance. Along with the existing 820 mm clear opening requirement, new building work will need to meet provisions for thresholds, landing areas and weatherproofing. Tasmania also has specific exemptions that may apply to challenging sites, small or irregular allotments and certain Class 1a buildings.
This resource breaks down the Stage 3 provisions, key dimensions and gradients, available exemptions and what you need to consider when planning new building work from 1 October 2026.
