Regarding the installation of a lift without building consent, and a request to remove the compliance schedule, for a multi-unit residential building.

This determination considers the authority’s decision to issue a compliance schedule for a telecommunications exchange structure.

The determination discusses whether the structure is part of, or related to, a network utility operator system and therefore not considered a ‘building’ for the purposes of the Act.

The determination considers whether the correct classified use for the proposed poultry sheds is "industrial" or "outbuilding", and whether the operational systems are specified systems and whether a compliance schedule is required.  It also considers whether the requirements for access and facilities for people with disabilities apply to the poultry sheds.

Discussed definition of a ‘building’ under section 9 and the meaning of ‘intended to be occupied’ in relation to an NUO (network utility operator). Also discussed the definition of a specified system in relation to smoke detectors connected to security systems, and the meaning of ‘contribute to the proper functioning of the building’ and ‘functional requirement’ in section 7.
