BUILDING ACT 2004 (NO. 11 OF 2004) - SECT 62

Notice to carry out building work

    (1)     If a precondition under section 61 exists in relation to building work on a parcel of land, the construction occupations registrar may give the owner of the parcel a notice directing the owner to carry out stated building work (including demolition) on the parcel within a stated period and may, in the notice, direct the owner to submit plans for approval and obtain the issue of a building approval and commencement notice.

    (2)     If building work has been carried out in the circumstances mentioned in section 61 (a), a notice given by the construction occupations registrar under subsection (1) is taken to have been revoked if a certifier, on application by or on behalf of the owner of the parcel of land made under this Act within 2 weeks after the day the notice is given, issues a building approval for the building work.

    (3)     If building work has been carried out in the circumstances mentioned in section 61 (f), the construction occupations registrar may give a notice under this section to carry out the demolition of a building only if the planning and land authority recommends the demolition.

    (4)     A notice given to the owner of a parcel of land by the construction occupations registrar under subsection (1) directing the person to carry out building work may state reasonable safety precautions to be taken in carrying out the building work.

    (5)     If the owner of a parcel of land does not hold a builders licence that authorises the doing of building work required to be done by a notice under this section, and the building work is required to be done by a building licensee, the owner must appoint someone to do the work who has a builders licence that authorises the work.

    (6)     This section does not allow the construction occupations registrar to require a person doing building work in relation to an exempt building to obtain an approval for the building work.
