About this document
This Ministerial Building Standard (MBS 009) sets out cost-effective solutions for onsite stormwater retention.
The provisions of this standard apply to Class 1 and 2 dwellings, and Class 10a buildings associated with Class 1 and 2 structures (as defined by the Building Code), where the relevant authority has directed that provision for retention must be built-in as part of the stormwater drainage system.
Ministerial Building Standards form part of the Building Rules which are used to assess a development application for building consent. All standards must be read in conjunction with the requirements of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (General) Regulations 2017.
For the purposes of section 52(1) of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 this statutory instrument has been certified by the Chief Executive.
