Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations amend the Building (Dam Safety) Regulations 2022 (the principal regulations) and come into force on 13 May 2024, immediately after the commencement of the principal regulations.
These regulations amend the definition of classifiable dam to exclude dams of lower height (1 or more metres but less than 4 metres storing 40,000 or more cubic metres volume of water or other fluid) from the dam classification requirements in subpart 7 of Part 2 of the Building Act 2004.
Under the amended principal regulations, a dam will only be a classifiable dam if it has a height of 4 metres or more and stores 20,000 or more cubic metres volume of water or other fluid.
