Buildings

Provide detailed information about all of the structures affected by the building work. The system defaults your selections from your building consent to the form.

Building name or description defaults to Main building. You can change the default as required.

Building type is available only when the authority is WBOP. The values available are set by WBOP and are used to set a value in the council's Ozone system. These are different values to those for other councils using Ozone. When building type is selected, the selection is shown in the review step text after the selected Building classification.

Location of building within site / block number records where the structure is located on the block of land in relation to the nearest road access.

Number of levels is the total number of levels in the building, including levels below ground.

Level / unit number records an identifying description or number, for example when the affected structure is part of a larger development, such as a unit in a multi-residential development or level in a multi-level structure.

Year first constructed is an actual or approximate year in which the structure was first built. This option is shown when the scope of work is Alteration or addition.

Intended year of construction is shown when the scope of work is Construction of new building.

Intended life is either indefinite (50 years or more) or limited (less than 50 years). If you select Limited, you must enter the intended life of the building in years.

Are there one or more uses for the building? defaults to Single use. Select Multiple uses when there are multiple uses within a single structure, for example a structure containing shops and restaurants with accommodation above. The Multiple uses table includes Level, Current, lawfully established / planned use and Number of occupants fields. Select Add a use to add a new row.

Current, lawfully established / planned use sets a use from the list of Building Code A1 Classified uses.
