I just the latest version of the NCC (BCA) and it provides 10% for the windows and 3% for a skylight. The NCC applies equally to all states unless there is a state exemption.
I checked the ventilation requirements, and it says you need 5% opening. This can be achieved simply by having a door to the room that is at least 5% of the room.
Looking at your drawings, I think they are okay by the way, I think your room is okay to a 'bedroom'.
Good luck.

And fullylucky I can't believe you are still buying this.
Did you talk to Council about the alterations? You could be buying a real lemon.

When you say 5% of the room does that mean the floor area of the room times 0.05 = the area of the door and that's fine?I just the latest version of the NCC (BCA) and it provides 10% for the windows and 3% for a skylight. The NCC applies equally to all states unless there is a state exemption.

I got formal approval from bank. (I have heaps of security so thats why they will still lend.) Valuation came in at only 630k due to the facts mentioned above, they are only comparing it with other 3 bedroom houses. So I was advised not to proceed but I went through with it anyway... just waiting for the vendor's solicitor to confirm they will deduct 9k of the original offer due to the stuff mentioned on the building and pest report through fax to my solicitor.
Today is the last day before it becomes unconditional.
You suspect it probably is but because just by chance now and then they would have to say some correct things

This comment is SOOOO scary. Building and pest sucks, advised not to proceed on valuation but still going ahead. Money Pit anyone?

Now see this is the 'joy' of cross collatarolisation. Your PPOR is now an immense sinking fund for this folly of an IP.
You paid $760k? for this dodgeville IP and it's valued at $630k so your PPOR is having to stump up at least $260k in security instead of $160k
Yikes even your best friend the bank said don't do it.
