General Requirements
NOTES

Prior to any demolition planning or execution an investigation of the structure must be
completed in accordance with clause 1.6 and clause 1.7.2.6 of AS2601‐2001
The investigation of the structure must include:

Materials of construction; particularly location and nature of potentially hazardous materials

Type of construction
Investigation of structure

Elements of members to maintain stability against vertical and horizontal loads

Type, extent and status for services including gas, electrical, plumbing and
telecommunications

Condition of the structure
Investigation of the site
Work Plan
 Any other details of the structure regarding its strength or structuraly compromising factors
The investigation of the site must include:

Type, extent and status for services including gas, electrical, plumbing and
telecommunications

Location and extent of any underground structures including basements/other subfloors.

Presence of any retaining structures that support adjoining ground or buildings

A work plan must be prepared by a competent person and include:

Location of the site

Overall height of the structure above ground

The occupancy class of the building as well as a brief description of the structure itself.

Details of method of demolition proposed


Question 3
The following is a list of the Building Code of Australia requirements for the dwelling if it was to be built
within each respective building zone:
Bush Fire
AS3959 ‐ Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas:
All Class 1 buildings located in a designated bushfire prone area are to be constructed in accordance
with the requirements of AS3959 Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas. AS3959 provides a
method of assessing the bushfire risk of a site by categorising the terrain including the slope and type
of vegetation present. Due to it's location, Project 1 would likely be assessed with a BAL rating of 19
(moderate risk) with regards to AS 3959-2009.
High Wind
AS 1170.2 – 2002 ‐ Structural design actions ‐ Wind actions:
Project 1 is situated in Region A ‐ Normal. Therefore, if additional bracing is required this could be
achieved by appropriate anchorage systems and bracing systems recommended by AS 1170.2 – 2002.
Earthquake
AS 1170.4 – 2002 ‐ Structural design actions, Part 4: Earthquake actions in Australia:
Due to the location of the dwelling in Project 1, it would be highly unlikely that earthquake building codes
and requirements would be observed.
Alpine
Section 3.7.5 Alpine areas:
Alpine areas for NSW are defined as areas which are 1200m or above the Australian height datum, and
sub alpine areas are though between 600 ‐ 1200m in NSW. Project 1 lies in the sub alpine area and as
such is not subject to Alpine building codes or requirements.
