This is a guide to building work which does not require
a building consent under the Building Act 2004 (the Building Act).
It concentrates on the list of exemptions contained in Schedule 1
of the Building Act
18. Carports
Building work in connection with a carport that:
(a) is on or attached to an existing building; and
(b) is on the ground level of the building; and
(c) does not exceed 20 square metres in floor area.
This exemption relates to roofed structures that are used for motor vehicle storage
and that are on or attached to an existing building. To be regarded as a carport, at
least one side of the structure must remain open to the outdoors at all times.
The floor area, which is taken to be the area within the posts and/or walls supporting
the roof structure, must also be no greater than 20 square metres to qualify for this
exemption.
This exemption also includes all work relating to the disposal of stormwater as it
relates to the carport.
Examples where this exemption could apply
Constructing a new carport which is associated with an existing house.
The carport will have a concrete slab on grade, be open on all sides, and have
a floor area of 20 square metres.
A courier company intends to build a 20 square metre carport in its yard. The
carport will be open on three sides and attached to the depot building.作者: bubugu 时间: 2014-9-24 15:10:10
