Premises and facilities criterion 3
The premises conform to any relevant bylaws of the local authority and the Building Act 2004.
Documentation required:
- Code Compliance Certificate issued under Section 95 of the Building Act 2004 for any building work undertaken, or alternatively any other documentation that shows evidence of compliance.
- Current Annual Building Warrant of Fitness (if the premises require a compliance schedule under Section 100 of the Building Act 2004).
Related to clause 45(1)(a)(ii) of standard.
Rationale/Intent:
The criterion aims to uphold children's safety and well-being by giving Ministry of Education the ability to suspend or cancel a licence if the premises are not compliant with the Building Act or maintained in good condition (as opposed to a fine being imposed by the local authority under the Building Act which may not address the immediate risk to children attending).
