Hydraulic designers should be aware the BCA 2011 has some key changes namely the inclusion of part three the Plumbing Code of Australia. The following is an extract from a NSW Planning & Infrastructure circular.
This year sees the introduction of the National Construction Code (NCC) Series, comprising the Building Code of Australia (BCA) as Volume One and Two and the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) as Volume Three.
The NCC takes affect from 1 May 2011. However it should be noted that in NSW the PCA (Volume Three of the NCC) will not be referenced at this time. Further advice will be provided when NSW adopts the PCA.
What does this mean for Hydraulic designers in NSW? The New South Wales Code of Practice Plumbing and Drainage will be omitted sometime in the future. I will keep you posted.
