CTWG Dispute Resolution Case outcome - Regulation 5 Schedule 3 Type2 No building warrant required for alterations to racking systems in maturation warehouse

While each case should be considered on its own merits, the LABSS decision is that, in general, alterations to the racking system in a bonded warehouse shouldbe considered as falling within Type 2 of Schedule 3 to Regulation 5 and therefore no building warrant application is required for such work.

Notes:

(1) Alterations must however meet any standards required by the regulations.

(2) Ladders or walkways forming part of the racking which provide access for routine maintenance only should be considered in the same context as theracking system.

(3) A racking system which form part of or supports any part of the structure of a building are excluded and therefore would be considered warrantable.
