About this determination
Summary
This determination considers the authority’s decision to issue a notice to fix for a contravention of section 40 of the Building Act 2004, relating to building work carried out without building consent.
The determination focuses on whether the building work required building consent, in particular whether the work was exempt under Schedule 1, clause 3B, with specific consideration of the meaning of “not more than 1 storey” and the relationship between the floor level and the supporting ground.
