Document
About this determination
Summary
This determination considers whether a new retaining wall close to some existing retaining walls and the boundary between two properties complies with the provisions of Building Code Clause B1 Structure and the protection of other property.
The matter turns on whether the new retaining wall relies on the existing retaining walls located on other property for compliance, and whether the new retaining wall imposes a surcharge on the existing retaining walls and, if a surcharge is imposed, whether this affects the ongoing compliance of the existing retaining walls.
