Our Scope Reduction Initiative (SRI) began on 1 January 2015. The SRI has identified a number of types of building work where we will provide a response before an application is made to the Assessment Manager.

Under Section 57 of the Planning Act 2016, we are able to give a referral agency response on matters within our jurisdiction about a development before an application for the development is made to the Assessment Manager.

Please refer to the booklet, Scope Reduction Initiative Guidelines (PDF, 771 KB). 

General information

The particular types of building work that we have provided a response for are:

• building work involving fire hydrant coverage via a single street hydrant
• building work involving particular performance solutions
• building work involving particular fit-outs
• building work involving particular free-standing shade structures
• building work where fire hydrant coverage is via a single feed hydrant for a marina.
