MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 85

Building Control - Gordon

Mr Moore - asked the Minister for Urban Services - In relation to inspections done and certificates issued for Block 4, Section 458, Gordon.

(1) Was an inspection carried out prior to the slab

preparation on 2 July 1991, by the Building

Controller; if so, was the inspected work declared

satisfactory.

(2) How was the builder informed of the results of the

inspection.

(3) Was any problem identified by the Building Controller

at this time rectified.

(4) Was a Certificate of Occupancy issued at the final

inspection indicating that the building was

satisfactory.

(5) Does the Building Controller consider that the house

is consistent with the building permit conditions and

the Building Code of Australia.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) No.

Where ACT Building Control does not carry out an inspection for structural works, a Certificate is required from a practising certified structural engineer stating that the works comply with the approved plan and conditions set down in the Building Code of Australia.

In accordance with this practice, an Engineering Certificate dated 24 July 1991 was lodged with ACT Building Control and was acceptable.

(2, 3) Not applicable.

(4) Yes.

(5) Yes.
