1 Plans accompanying an application for building approval relate to the erection
of a house with a sheet metal roof. One of the conditions of the development
approval for the house is that the roofing must not be white or off-white. The
plans must show the proposed colour of the roof sheeting in sufficient detail to
enable the certifier to decide if the colour complies with the development
approval and the builder to erect a roof in a colour that complies with the
development approval. Stating the name of a colour, for example, light grey,
may not be sufficiently descriptive unless the plans are accompanied by a
relevant colour chart, or manufacturer’s product colour, or a reference to a
standard colour in AS 2700 (Colour standards for general purposes).
