BUILDING ACT 1975 - SECT 59

59 Discretion for building development applications for particular budget accommodation buildings

(1) This section applies to the assessment of a building development application to the extent it is for building work required to ensure the building complies, under section 220, with the fire safety standard.

(2) The decision on the application may compromise the achievement of the desired environmental outcomes in a relevant planning scheme.

Example--
A desired environmental outcome in a relevant planning scheme is that the building does not affect the amenity and aesthetics of the neighbourhood of the building. An external stairway required under the site safety standard does not comply with the outcome. The application may be approved despite the noncompliance.
