2026/009: An authority’s decision to issue a notice to fix for building work at a residential property

This Determination is subject to appeal.

This determination considers an authority’s decision to issue a notice to fix for a contravention of section 40 in relation to several items of building work.

It considers whether a notice to fix can be issued for work which has been completed at the time the notice is issued, and whether an authority must know when the building work occurred. The determination also considers the remedies in the notice to fix.

2018/034: Refusal of a code compliance certificate for an addition

This determination considers the authority's refusal to issue the code compliance certificate for a substantial addition to an existing studio building. The refusal arose from matters related to Building Code Clauses D1, E2, E3, and F4, but the principle issue was an ongoing dispute about the water from neighbouring properties and a small drain that has been installed to divert some of this water. The determination considers whether the drain formed part of the consented work or not.
