Bin Enquiry FormA Building Warrant of Fitness (BWoF) is official written confirmation that the specified systems in a building (listed on a Compliance Schedule) are properly maintained to a high standard and regularly tested to ensure the safety of those who enter the building. It shows that the owner has maintained (or has employed qualified people to maintain) the systems to the required standard during the previous year.
Take a look at our Building Warrant of Fitness information sheet (PDF 115 kb).
The buildings covered by BWoFs are usually commercial or industrial buildings or office blocks. However, if your home has or is serviced by a cable car you’ll need a BWoF for it.
Every 12 months, on the anniversary of the day the Compliance Schedule was issued, the building owner must send us:
The Form(s) 12A, along with any other associated BWoF documentation, must be retained for two years. These records must be kept within a BWoF folder onsite (unless agreed upon with Council for an alternative location).
A copy of the BWoF must be displayed in a public area of the building at all times.
If you don’t have a BWoF when you should have one, you may be prosecuted.
