Non-conforming building products (NCBPs) are building products that are not safe, non-compliant, or contain false or misleading claims and are not fit for their intended use.

It is important to note that manufactured home structures are often represented as “temporary” or “portable” dwellings and are classified as a Class 1a dwelling under the National Construction Code (NCC).

Manufactured homes are structures that are made up of individual components that may be building products, which must comply with Queensland’s non-conforming building product laws. The manufactured home as a complete structure may trigger building or plumbing work requirements. These building and plumbing requirements are administered by the local government where the structure is placed.

A Development Approval for Building Works (building permit) and a Development Approval for Plumbing and Drainage Works (plumbing permit) from the relevant local government or private certifier as appropriate for the manufactured home is required, where applicable, under the Planning Act 2016. Check with your local government or private building certifier.
