BUILDING REGULATIONS 2014 (S.R. 2014, NO. 57) - REG 13
Activities prohibited in landslip areas
(1) For the purposes of section 152(2) of the Act, a person may
only (a) excavate, or deposit, material in a landslip area if the
excavation or deposition is carried out in such a manner as to allow rainwater
or seepage to drain from the site; or
(b) permanently excavate or deposit any
material for, or in connection with, building work in a landslip area
if (i) the excavation is not more than 600 millimetres in depth;
and
(ii) the material, when deposited, is not more than one metre in height
above ground level and is compacted and graded so as not to aggravate existing
landslip conditions; or
(c) backfill a trench or hole in a landslip area if
the trench or hole is backfilled with well-compacted material which was
previously removed from the trench or hole; or
(d) fell or remove trees or
other vegetation for, or in connection with, building work on land in a
landslip area if the person has obtained the written agreement of a permit
authority; or
(e) use any earth-moving or vibrating compaction equipment for,
or in connection with, building work on land in a landslip area if the person
has obtained the written agreement of a permit authority.
(2) The building surveyor may grant a certificate of likely compliance
for a permanent excavation of any vertical depth, or a deposit of filling of
any height, in a landslip area if satisfied on the basis of a certificate
given by a geo-technical engineer who has expertise in geo-technical reports
and is accredited as an Engineer-Civil under the Accreditation Scheme, or a
practising engineering geologist who has expertise in geo-technical reports,
that the excavation or filling will not affect the stability of the land.
