Why Victoria’s Rollout Is Everyone’s Problem

Victoria adopted NCC 2025 on 1 May 2026, no lengthy transition, no soft launch. State-based variations dropped from 115 to 60, but F1P1 and below-ground waterproofing requirements are tighter, not looser.

If you’re building in NSW or Queensland, you have until 1 May 2027. That sounds like time until you realise design decisions made today are what get tested against the new code tomorrow.

This session is a working preview of what’s already live in one state, and coming to yours.

• What’s actually changed for F1P1 and below-ground waterproofing
• What Victoria’s rollout tells NSW/QLD practitioners about what’s coming
• Where the Deemed-to-Satisfy pathway leaves you exposed
• Live Q&A with the presenters
