What is Class 1A?

What is a Class 1A Dwelling?

Under the Australian National Construction Code (NCC), a Class 1A dwelling is a single detached house or one of a group of attached dwellings that is separated from others by fire-resisting walls and has its own ground-level access.

This classification makes it perfect for:

  • Habitable sheds - Shed-style homes with full amenities
  • Barndominiums - Barn-inspired residential buildings
  • Steel frame kit homes - Modern prefabricated dwellings
  • Granny flats - Secondary dwellings on existing properties
