Consultation on a proposed Building code Compliance Document for Backcountry Huts
Consultation closed 31 October 2008
The Department is seeking your views on the proposed Compliance Document for Department of Conservation (DoC) backcountry huts.
The Building Code will soon be amended to exempt DoC backcountry huts from being required to have certain features that are not consistent with their intended use, such as artificial lighting.
The proposed Compliance Document is intended to accompany the Building Code changes and to make it easier for DoC to build and replace backcountry huts in the future.
