I am advised:

The NSW Government is currently developing a whole of Government response to the Disability Royal Commission's Final Report recommendations, including the recommendation relating to national adoption of the Liveable Housing Design Standard in the National Construction Code.

The NSW Government recognises the importance of accessible housing for many in our community including people with disability, those with mobility issues and seniors.

The Government has previously indicated it will monitor any effects the NCC liveable housing requirements have on both building costs and housing stock across other jurisdictions, noting several jurisdictions have only recently commenced these provisions. This approach will provide NSW with the balance and flexibility to consider options to increase the supply of accessible housing, while minimising any burdens on housing affordability.
