You will need to comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) to design or construct new buildings or undertake work in existing buildings within Australia.
The NCC includes:

- Building Code of Australia (BCA), Volume 2, for Class 1 and 10 buildings (houses, sheds and carports)

The National Construction Code provides the minimum necessary requirements for safety, health, amenity and sustainability in the design and construction of new buildings (and new building work in existing buildings) throughout Australia.
