REGISTER OF BUILDING APPLICATIONS
BACKGROUND
Land use planning and building control at Townsville Airport is regulated by the Airports Act 1996 (Act). Regulations have been made pursuant to the Act, and the principal regulations dealing with the approval of “building activities” (as defined in s98 of the Act) are the Airports (Building Control) Regulations 1996 (Regulations).
Building activities are only to be carried out after approval has been obtained from the Airport Building Controller (ABC) for Townsville Airport. The Regulations set out the way in which applications are made for approval of building activities, as well as the matters the ABC considers before an approval is issued. In some cases, Townsville Airport PTY Ltd will be the applicant for building activities. However, where Townsville Airport is not the applicant for a building activity, the ABC cannot give its approval unless Townsville Airport has first given its consent to the proposed activities. The Regulations describe the things ABC must be satisfied about before it gives its consent, such as whether the proposed building activity is consistent with the Townsville Airport Master Plan.
