Buildings

 


Building includes part of a building, and also includes any structure or part of a structure (including any temporary structure or part of a temporary structure), but does not include a manufactured home, moveable dwelling or associated structure within the meaning of the Local Government Act 1993.

Any structure that is not a manufactured home, moveable dwelling (this includes caravans) or associated structure is considered to be a building and must be built in accordance with the National Construction Code.

Development of a dwelling house, secondary dwelling or dual occupancy that involves the erection, but not the relocation, of a building falls into the category of a BASIX building and is required to meet certain environmental performance standards and obtain a BASIX certificate.

How the building is proposed to be used, and therefore how the land use is defined, will determine what planning controls apply. Use the Online Form below to work out the land use definition.
