SBS Views

Published Views

The division publishes anonymised details of cases referred to us for a Ministerial View.  The published details will include:

  • The functional standard(s) over which there is doubt about compliance;
  • The technical context to help explain how the issues have arisen and
  • The key elements of the view response including the interpretation of any relevant guidance.

Each case is treated anonymously in order to preserve the privacy of the applicant for building warrant and their building project.

We hope the information published in this format will be helpful but it should be noted that the details should only be considered in connection with the individual project referred for a view rather than setting a precedent for all future similar projects.
