View upcoming Building Appeals Board hearings, mediations, site inspections and other scheduled proceedings.
On this page you will find a record of listings of the Building Appeals Board (BAB), including directions hearings, preliminary hearings, final hearings, mediations, site inspections, administrative mentions and listings dealt with 'on the papers'* All our hearings and mediations, unless otherwise directed, are conducted remotely using audio-visual conferencing technology.
Practice notes
For more information on how hearings are conducted, please refer to the following practice notes:
Whilst we cannot provide a written transcript of the hearing, we may provide an audio recording (if available). You must complete the Audio Recording Request form (PDF, 190.7 KB) that includes signing an undertaking and send this request to the registry email.
The request is then considered by the chairperson of the panel who presided at the hearing. If you intend to request an audio recording, please check with the case officer that the hearing will be recorded.
Please ensure you include the reason(s) for the hearing adjournment and how long you require the adjournment to. Please also ensure you copy in all other parties to the proceeding when emailing your request to the BAB.
Please do not assume the hearing date will be changed. Your hearing will go ahead as originally planned unless we contact you to confirm a new date and time.
The purpose of an administrative mention is for the applicant or the parties to a proceeding to notify the Registrar of the status of the proceeding and their recommendations for the further conduct of the proceeding. There is no requirement to attend a hearing on this date.
All hearings conducted are open to the public unless the BAB has ordered otherwise. To view upcoming hearing listings, please see the details below. If you wish to attend a hearing, please put your request in writing and include the case number or property address and email it to the registry email.
To ensure the BAB can accommodate your request, please ensure your written request is submitted to the BAB within 48 hours of the listed hearing.
The BAB can arrange a professional interpreter for hearings at no cost to parties. If you require an interpreter for your hearing, please send your request to the registry email within 48 hours of the listed hearing.
Please note that the BAB does not permit family or friends to translate during a hearing.
Information about site inspections
Inspections of sites are carried out at the discretion of the BAB.
Submission of further information (including discussion of the case) must not occur during the inspection, unless requested by the BAB.
Notice of an upcoming inspection will not be given unless access is required to the property, in which case the BAB will advise all parties during the hearing.
Upcoming hearings
The listings published below are the listings in the week ahead.
With exception to some modification applications, listings in the week ahead are available from Friday by 4:15 PM in the week prior and are updated every weekday in the subsequent week by 4:15 PM.
Modification applications that are considered without the need for the parties to attend a hearing are usually considered on Thursday mornings. These listings will be made available by 4:15 PM on the day prior.
*Subject to a party requesting a hearing, a matter may be dealt with on the papers if the BAB considers it appropriate to make a determination in the proceeding based on written submissions filed and evidence tendered by the parties, without the need for any party to appear before the BAB.
All hearings conducted by the BAB are open to the public unless ordered otherwise. If you wish to observe a hearing, please put your request in writing and include the case number and property address and email it to the registry email.
