Gold Coast jobs get stuck on the junction: a level threshold to a balcony, a bathroom on a slab that cannot take a hob, or a planter hard against a sliding door.

Apartments in Broadbeach, Main Beach and Surfers Paradise often want a flush step from the bathroom or living area to the balcony. The deemed-to-satisfy hob does not fit that design. The performance solution has to deal with the water, not pretend the step exists.
Coastal buildings add planter boxes and podium decks beside habitable rooms. A standard internal wet-area detail does not cover that junction. We document the alternative for that detail, for the certifier to assess.
Builders in Burleigh, Palm Beach, Helensvale and Coomera hit the same clash: the architect's drawing, the slab that was poured, and AS 3740. Call while the detail can still change. Overnight paperwork is possible once the drawings are in.
Central Gold Coast high-rise, the beach suburbs, and house builds through the northern corridor. This page is for a detail that cannot follow the standard path, not for a leak that has already shown up in the ceiling.
If water is already escaping, start with a leak test rather than a performance solution. A performance solution is for work that is being designed or built. It records how that Gold Coast detail meets the NCC performance requirement when the deemed-to-satisfy path does not fit. We do not stand in for the certifier.
What you get
The paper is specific to the threshold, planter or slab you actually have. It is for the builder and the certifier to use at sign-off. If the ceiling is already stained, use the Gold Coast leak-testing page instead.
