Construction freeze
According to Section 8 of the Vienna Building Code, a construction freeze is imposed if the City of Vienna plans to modify zoning and development plans. Until the municipal council makes a ruling on the redefinition, no construction scheme may be carried out. A construction freeze is also imposed on areas that have not yet been registered within the zoning and development plans. If a construction freeze is established, no construction scheme may be carried out. In doing so, various legal regulations concerning construction freezes must be observed, as under certain requirements, site management is still possible.
