Type B and C Hoardings Type B and C Hoardings must be constructed where it is proposed to demolish an existing building adjoining any public land or public road. The footpath shall be covered by an overhead protective structure (Type B Hoarding) and the facing façade protected by heavy duty scaffolding (Type C Hoarding) unless either: a) b) c) d) e) f) The vertical height above footpath level of the subject structure is less than 4 metres; or The least horizontal distance between the footpath and the nearest path of the structure is greater than half the height of the structure. The overhead structure shall consist of a horizontal platform of solid construction and vertical supports and the platform shall: Extend from the common boundary to the edge of the road carriageway for the full length of the boundary; Have a clear height above the footpath of not less than 2.4 metres; Terminate at the edge of the road carriageway with a continuous solid upstand projecting not less than 0.5 metres above the platform surface; and Together with its support be designed for a uniformly distributed live load of not less than 7 kPa. The hoarding must be erected along the full length of all public domain boundaries and extend beyond the worksite boundaries to protect the adjoining sites as required prior to the commencement of works. The hoarding must provide a minimum head height clearance of 3 metres, as measured from the lowest point of any structural bracing for pedestrians. Height clearance to knee bracing shall be at least 2500 millimetres. Hoarding post construction is to bear onto sole plates. Gates and other similar openings are not to open outwards across or over any public road reserve (ie footpath or road carriageway). In Type B hoardings, the underside of the deck is to be fully lined and be impenetrable to water. The provision of a suitable stormwater drainage system is also required to enable the discharge of roof rainwater into Council’s stormwater drainage system. The roofs of the hoarding and any sheds shall slope inwards to the site in order to ensure stormwater runoff does not fall onto the road reserve (ie footpath or road carriageway).
