Previous Council Consideration
Noosa Council has previously joined other councils from around Australia as part of our
membership of Climate Emergency Australia (CEA) in calling on this outcome. CEA is part of a
coalition of peak bodies and organisations (including ACOSS, Energy Consumers Australia,
ASBEC, Climate Council, Energy Efficiency Council, Property Council, and Renew) collaborating
on a shared statement to back higher energy standards for new homes. Council has also directly
written to The Australian Building Codes Board in October 2021 providing a submission on the
NCC 2022.
Finance
Nil associated directly - seeking consideration of a potential LGAQ motion and advocacy for
legislative change.
Risks & Opportunities
The proposal is consistent with our Climate Response Plan.
Queensland communities have the ability to determine the pace of their transition to a low carbon
economy, and if desired include provisions within their Planning schemes that may exceed the
statutory minimum requirements of the National Construction Code.
