| Objective | OP3 Protection of Adjacent Buildings from Fire |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Area of unprotected openings in
an exposing building face of a storey that
faces a street and is at the same level as the street, where the limiting distance is
not less than 9 m. This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A.

| Intent | Intent 1: To exempt certain exposing building faces from the requirements
of Sentences 3.2.3.1.(1) and 3.2.3.7.(1) to (6), which would otherwise limit
the area of unprotected openings, and permit unlimited unprotected openings,
on the basis that the building face is readily accessible to firefighters
[who can effectively carry out fire suppression operations] and the limiting
distance is not less than 9 m. These conditions are to limit
the probability of the spread of fire from the building to an adjacent building,
which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings. |
