NRS-18117 | Minutes of meetings of the Height of Buildings Advisory Committee

Full description

The requirement to limit the height of buildings and to certify tall buildings originated with the Height of Buildings (Metropolitan Police District) Act, 1912 (Act No. 58, 1912).

The Height of Buildings (Amendment) Act, 1957 (Act No. 12, 1957) removed the maximum height restriction of 150 feet based on certain conditions being met. The legislation also provided for appointment of a Height of Buildings Advisory Committee which made recommendations to the Minister about skylines, plans and related height of building matters. These are the minutes of that Committee.

From 1967, under the Height of Buildings (Amendment) Act, 1967 (Act No. 47, 1967), the Height of Building Advisory Committee reported via the State Planning Authority.
