Proposed Termite
Management System
Proposed Development: ______________________________________________________
Site Address:_______________________________________________________________
The applicant is to nominate which of the following methods either singularly, or a combination of
methods, will form the termite management system for the proposed development. If the drawings
clearly document how termite management is dealt with, this form is optional.
Building/construction type inherently complies because:
All Primary Building Elements(1) are materials which are not susceptible to termite attack.
NOTE: Full details of materials to be provided.
Steel stumps/posts used (fully welded end cap top and bottom).
75mm clearance provided under stumps/posts in accordance with AS 3660.1.
Other (Proposal to be fully documented).
The concrete slab forms part of the barrier as it complies with AS 2870. Certification of site
classification by a competent person to Part 2 of AS 2870-1996 forms part of the
application. Penetrations and control joints will be protected by:
Stainless steel mesh or approved(2) equivalent.
Approved(2) chemical reticulation system.
Other (proposal to be fully documented).
The perimeter of the concrete slab will be protected by:
Providing a visual inspection zone of not less than 75mm above the finished adjacent surface
(including paths, driveways etc). The visual inspection zone is a smooth off form edge of the
concrete slab. Render finish of external walls will not extend into the visual inspection zone.
Chemical Barrier installed by excavating trenches to 50mm below the top of the footing,
treating the exposed trench with an approved(2) termiticide, and backfilling the trench with
chemically treated material. The treated material will be protected from disturbance and
weathering by a 50mm (min) thick concrete cover strip not less than 300mm wide
measured from the external wall of the building.
Stainless steel mesh or approved(2) equivalent.
Approved chemical reticulation system.
Suspended timber and concrete floors will be protected by:
Termite Shields - galvanised steel, stainless steel mesh or approved(2) equivalent.
Chemical Barrier - Full system.
