National Construction Code

The National Construction Code (NCC) is Australia’s primary set of technical design and construction provisions for buildings. It was previously known as the Building Code of Australia (BCA) — not to be confused with Building Code 2016 which is unrelated.

As a performance-based code, it sets the minimum required level for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability of certain buildings. The Australian Building Codes Board, on behalf of the Australian Government and each State and Territory government, produces and maintains the National Construction Code.
