This determination considers whether the bracing design for two external walls of a
single-storey timber-framed dwelling complied with the Building Code. In deciding this

compliance stated in the building consent application, which was New Zealand
Standard NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings.

This determination considers the authority’s refusal to grant a waiver under section 72 of the Act for two proposed buildings which are situated on land subject to a debris flow hazard.  The determination considers the risk to occupants from debris flow events, and the extent to which the proposed work will mitigate this risk.

This determination considers what is reasonable and adequate access for people with disabilities to three different pools in a proposed aquatic centre.  The determination discusses the intended use of the pools and the interrelationship with the design features of the pools, as well as the use of other countries guidance documents and standards to achieve compliance as an alternative solution.
