Re: Exhaust Fans and building code of Vic 7Jun 21, 2014 12:05 pm SaveH2O Not my area but I did read once where you had to have an exhaust fan in a WC if there was no window but that may have just been a recommendation. Should be mandatory if it isn't already. It's covered in part 3.8.5 of the BCA Vol2. Essentially you need a window or door opening to the outside with an area of 5% of the floor area or more. If you are using internal openings for ventilation it's a bit more complicated and in the event of no window etc then a fan ducted appropriately (also covered in the code) is acceptable. BCA aside, for the cost, I'd certainly install one in each bathroom toilet and can be easily done after the house has been finished in most cases. hey nedket, We have a similar lot like yours . just wondering how is it going with your DA application, is the Blue line is the correct solution (offset the rear boundary… 1 9350 CDC Housing Code 3 When to apply Floor Area external face of wall vs Gross Floor Area internal face of wall.
