Building Compliance Schedules

This page explains what Building Compliance Schedules are and how to obtain one.

Compliance Schedules are required for some buildings

A Compliance Schedule is required for buildings that are not used wholly as a single household unit if the building has a specified system i.e., automatic sprinkler, back flow prevention, fire alarm, etc.

Compliance Schedules are required for buildings used wholly as single household units only if it has a cable car attached to it or servicing it.

A Building Warrant of Fitness is also required

The owner of any building that requires a Compliance Schedule must supply Council's Building Compliance Centre with a Building Warrant Fitness for their building on each anniversary of the Compliance Certificate's issue date.

The Building Warrant of Fitness must be accompanied by all signed off certifications (Form 12As) and inspection documents when submitted.

For more information or advice on this call or visit Council's Customer Services Centre.

Council does not provide a Building Warrant of Fitness inspection or certification service. You will need to arrange this with a private building practitioner.

There is a cost to issue or amend your Compliance Schedule.  There is also a cost to receive and process your Building Warrant of Fitness.
