In response to a Question on Notice for the Senate Select Committee on Productivity in Australia, Urban Taskforce wrote a submission on where changes might be possible to reduce the size of the National Construction Code.
Urban Taskforce Australia has done a high-level review of Volume One (937 pages) and Volume Two (330 pages, plus the Housing Provisions Standard, with 602 pages, plus the Livable Housing Design Standard with 25 pages) of the 2025 version of the Code to identify examples of where and how it might be changed and/or reduced.
The comments below show areas that could be simplified for the benefit of those that crave improved productivity and housing affordability.
