Below, I've outlined the specifics of my project with attention to compliance requirements: 1. **Insulation**: To meet the NCC's energy efficiency provisions, particularly Section J for residential buildings, I intend to incorporate high-performance insulation in walls and ceilings, ensuring an optimal thermal performance rating. 2. **Plumbing**: The addition of a bathroom necessitates compliance with NCC Volume Three - Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), focusing on water efficiency, sanitary drainage, and waterproofing requirements. 3. **Waterproofing**: Adhering to AS 3740 - Waterproofing of domestic wet areas, to prevent moisture damage and ensure the integrity of bathroom areas. 4. **Ceiling Height**: In alignment with NCC Building Code of Australia Volume Two, Part 3.8.2, the conversion will feature ceiling heights of at least 2.4 meters for more than two-thirds of the floor area, providing adequate headroom and ventilation. 5. **Windows and Natural Light**: Upgrading garage windows to double-glazed units to enhance thermal efficiency and sound insulation, adhering to the NCC's Part 3.8.5 requirement for natural light. The design will ensure window sizes meet at least 10% of the floor area, aligning with NCC Volume Two, Part 3.8.4 for natural lighting. 6. **Garage Door**: Considering the installation of a new garage door with integrated windows, to fulfill the NCC's natural light requirements while contemplating aesthetics and functionality.
