The Queensland Government has announced that 7 star energy efficiency requirements set to commence 1st October 2023 have been delayed until 1st May 2024.
The deferred commencement is due to the delay in developing new energy efficiency software. All other requirements included in NCC 2022 will still commence on 1st October 2023 including the Liveable Housing provisions.
The Government has also released QDC 4.5 which provides Liveable Housing concessions for certain lot types as well as providing guidance on solutions for grading floor wastes and the construction of enclosed showers. QDC 4.1 will continue to apply in relation to energy efficiency until 1st May 2024.
