Building Act 2011
The new Building Act 2011 came into effect on 2 April 2012. It brings some significant changes to the building approvals process, from the design stage right through to occupation of a building. The new Act separates the process of certifying that a design complies with building standards from the administrative process of the local government issuing building approval (Building Permit).
