What are the specific fire safety compliance requirements for attached dwellings under NCC 2022 in suburban Adelaide?

NCC 2022 mandates specific fire resistance levels (FRLs) for walls separating attached dwellings, typically requiring a minimum 60/60/60 FRL to prevent fire spread, and addresses the proximity of external walls to boundaries with commensurate FRL or non-combustible material requirements. Compliance in suburban Adelaide further involves ensuring all fire-resisting elements, including floors, ceilings, and service penetrations, maintain their integrity and FRL, alongside the mandatory installation of interconnected smoke alarms and adherence to any specific South Australian variations or council overlays regarding bushfire attack levels if applicable.
