HIA - Measurements of ceiling heights (Nat)
The letters represent the following minimum dimensions:
A = 2.4m Habitable room (excluding a kitchen – 2.1m)
B = 2.4m Habitable room - two-thirds of the floor area
C = 2.1m Non -habitable room two-thirds of the floor area
D = 2.2m An attic to be habitable - two-thirds of the floor area
E = 1.5m Calculating the floor area of a room or space, any ceiling height of 1.5m is excluded
F = 2.0 Stairs (measured vertically above the nosing line)
For clarity, the supporting clause 3.8.2.2 of BCA Volume 2 is set out below. Subject to any planning controls that may be applied by the local council, this clause sets out the minimum ceiling heights for habitable rooms in a new dwelling.

(a) in a habitable room excluding a kitchen – 2.4m; and

(d) in a bathroom, shower room, laundry, sanitary compartment, airlock, pantry, storeroom, garage, car parking area or the like — 2.1 m; and
(e) in a room or space with a sloping ceiling or projections below the ceiling line within—
i. a habitable room—(f) in a stairway — 2.0 m measured vertically above the nosing line.ii. a non- habitable room— a height of not less than 2.1 m for at least two-thirds of the floor area of the room or space,
A. in an attic — a height of not less than 2.2 m for at least two-thirds of the floor area of the room or space; and B. in other rooms — a height of not less than 2.4 m over two-thirds of the floor area of the room or space; and
