Tasmania is back on **NCC 2022** for houses, sheds and decks (Class 1 and Class 10). The state started on NCC 2025 for a short time, then went back to NCC 2022 on 5 June 2026. So the edition you follow today is 2022. NCC 2025 is **set for 1 May 2027**, but after all the recent back-and-forth that date may still change. Worth a quick check with your certifier before you count on it. While things settle, build to the basics that don’t move. Our [NCC-for-chippies stairs pillar](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/au/ncc-for-chippies/) covers the riser, going and rail numbers that decide a pass or fail, and the [concrete calculations guide](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/concrete/concrete-calculations-guide/) helps you order the right amount for slabs and footings. ## Adoption status Frozen Current code in force NCC 2022 Next edition NCC 2025 (scheduled 1 May 2027) Adoption / transition Tasmania reinstated NCC 2022 (from 5 Jun 2026). NCC 2025 is scheduled for 1 May 2027, but that date may still change.

The Building Amendment Act 2026 (No. 6 of 2026) fixes the NCC definition in the Building Act 2016 to NCC 2022 (Amendment 2) for all building classes — not just residential — until 30 April 2027. NCC 2025 applies from 1 May 2027.
