Compliance Schedules

A Compliance Schedule is a document listing the inspections, maintenance and reporting procedures for specified systems in a building (such as automatic fire sprinkler, fire alarms, lifts, air conditioning systems, evacuation systems, etc) to ensure their continued safety of operation. This also includes residential cable cars attached to a building. This has to be issued before or with the Code Compliance Certificate (CCC).

If you are amending an existing compliance schedule you will need to make application to council for the amendment. This may require a building consent to be approved for that work.

Application forms and individual specified system forms are required to be completed and either submitted with your application for building consent or your amendment application as appropriate, so that a Compliance Schedule may be issued or amended.

Application & Specified System forms

All application forms and information can be accessed via the Southern Building Controls Group (SBCG) website. This is managed by the Dunedin City Council on behalf of SBCG that Timaru DC is a member of.

Once you have received the initial Compliance Schedule Statement and any subsequent Amendments, the building owner will be required to furnish annual schedule 12A forms for each specified system showing that the specified system has been inspected and passed by an Independent Qualified Person (IQP). This establishes that the building has a current Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF).

Please refer to the Building Warrant of Fitness section for further info on BWOF's.
