Category 3 buildings

A Category 3 building is a building considered to be of high complexity because of:

• the risk to occupants because of what the building is used for or
• the high number of occupants or
• the community importance or
• Historic Places Act rating.

A Category 3 building:

• has no limits on:
  • structure
  • envelope design
  • building height
  • occupant numbers
  • building use
  • importance
• is any building with an Historic Places Act category 1 rating.

There are no examples for Category 3 buildings here because they are relatively simple to define on the basis of their use (above the occupant numbers allowed in Category 2) and whether they are a registered historic place.
