Description

The matter for determination is whether the authority was correct in its decision to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate for a 1-year-old addition to a house because it is not satisfied that the weatherboard cladding complies with certain clauses of the Building Code.

The matter for determination is whether the weatherboards as installed to the addition ('the cladding') comply with Clause B2 Durability and Clause E2 External Moisture. The parties have raised no matters relating to other building elements, and this determination is restricted to the weatherboard cladding system.
