Victoria is out in front: **NCC 2025 has been in force here since 1 May 2026**. If you’re building a house, shed, deck or carport (Class 1 and Class 10) in Victoria today, you work to the 2025 edition, not 2022. Good news for chippies — the home energy and livable-housing rules came across from NCC 2022 with barely any change. So the day-to-day work on stairs, footings and framing hasn’t shifted much with the new edition. Get the basics right and the edition number matters less. Start with the stairs pillar in our [NCC-for-chippies guide](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/au/ncc-for-chippies/) for the go/no-go sizes on risers, goings and rails, and use our [concrete calculations guide](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/concrete/concrete-calculations-guide/) when you’re ordering for slabs, footings and pad foundations. ## Adoption status Adopted Current code in force NCC 2025 Next edition — Adoption / transition In force since 1 May 2026. Residential energy & livable-housing requirements are unchanged from NCC 2022.
