Request for service - building

Your request


You are required to use the FEB process when the fire design establishes compliance using C/VM2. An exception would be where C/VM2 is used solely for establishing compliance for external fire spread. You should also follow the FEB process where the fire design establishes compliance using alternative solutions.



We issue temporary venue agreements for one-off events that may affect the established compliance of existing buildings. The applicant shall justify that it is safe to host such one-off event in the affected buildings. Employing reasonable management procedures and/or temporary fire safety features may assist with the justification. Such applications may also require approval from Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). The process also requires approval from FENZ. 


The Building Act 2004 Form 12 (Warrant of Fitness) requires that the maximum number of occupants that can safely use the building be noted.
