Question: In high-rise, residential strata buildings is a certificate of occupation required to be on display? I live in a residential strata building and I have not seen a certificate of occupation displayed.
Answer: Typically this will apply to those high rise residential buildings from 1997 onwards.
Section 108A of the Building Act (Qld) provides that if a building:
- has a certificate of occupancy given after 1 July 1997;
- is occupied; and
- is not a class 1a building
the certificate of occupancy must be displayed at the building’s main entrance. Typically this will apply to those high rise residential buildings from 1997 onwards.
