This Determination is subject to appeal.

This determination considers the authority’s decision to issue a building consent under section 72 for alterations to a dwelling on a property that is subject or likely to be subject to the natural hazard of inundation by flooding.

It considers whether adequate provision to protect the land for flooding has been made.

This determination discusses the interpretation of the natural hazard provisions in the Building Act 2004 (sections 71 to 74). The determination considers whether: building work amounts to "major alterations"; land on which the building work is to be carried out is likely to be subject to a natural hazard (specifically inundation); "adequate provision" has been or will be made to protect the land and building work.
