Had raised this issue with PD. SS came this morning to fix this by drilling a 20c coin size hole on the joist next to the vent. We are totally not happy with his solution.
Based on Part 3.8.5.0 Ventilation Requirements of the BCA’s requires that ‘contaminated air from a sanitary compartment must exhaust directly to the outside of the building by way of ducts; or exhaust into the roof space provided it is adequately ventilated by open eaves, and/or roof vents; or the roof is clad in roof tiles without sarking or similar material which would prevent ventilating through gaps between tiles’.
Will be insisting PD to provide a better solution than a 20c coin size hole.
