These questions in respect of building standards should be addressed to the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development. The Residential Design Codes relate to the siting of dwellings rather than their construction standard. However, the extent to which buildings block solar access of adjacent properties was a matter included in the draft R-Codes and I would expect this matter to be addressed in the final R-Codes.
