    Default BCA Balustrade Height

    Hi All

    I believe the required height for a Balustrade is now 1 meter ... where can I confirm this. Presumably this covers the requirements of Victoria also?

    Thanks.

    The standard notes for my house plans say:
    "Handrail to a minimum 865mm above nosing of stairs and 1000mm above balconies and landings ....."
    Elsewhere on the plans where I have solid balustrading around a garage rooftop deck the stipulation is 1050mm minimum. Don't know whether this is the actual regulation or not though.

    True.
    The above heights are from finished floor level.
