Description
This determination arises from the decision of the authority to refuse to issue code compliance certificate for the 16-year-old house because it was not satisfied that the building work complied with certain clauses of the Building Code.
The authority's concerns regarding compliance of the building work primarily relate to the weathertightness of the house and recent remedial work carried out to the monolithic cladding.
The matter to be determined is therefore whether the authority was correct to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate. In deciding this, it must be considered whether the external building envelope of the house complies with Clause B2 Durability and Clause E2 External Moisture of the Building Code that was in force at the time the consent was issued.
