BUILDING ACT 2011 - SECT 201

201 .         Removal of inflammable buildings

        (1)         In this section —

        notice means a notice under section 417(1) of the former provisions.

        (2)         A notice a copy of which was published under section 417(2) of the former provisions before commencement day is, on and from commencement day, to be taken to be a copy of a building order served on each owner and occupier of the building that is the subject of the notice.

        (3)         Section 111 does not apply to a notice taken to be a building order under subsection (2).

        (4)         A review under section 417(3) of the former provisions that was started, but not finalised, before commencement day must be dealt with as if the former provisions had not been amended by Part 15 Division 1, and if the decision to make the requisition is affirmed or varied on the review —

            (a)         the notice is to be taken to be a building order on the terms applying to the requisition or the requisition on its variation; and

            (b)         section 118 applies in relation to non-compliance with an order made on the review.

        (5)         Despite the Interpretation Act 1984 section 37(1), on or after commencement day the Magistrates Court, on an application under section 418 of the former provisions, is not to make an order that authorises a local government to do any of the things set out in that section, in which case section 118 applies.

        (6)         If a building is removed after commencement day the persons entitled are to be paid by the local government that served the notice the compensation agreed, or in the absence of agreement, the compensation stated in the notice or determined following a review mentioned in subsection (4), and if it is not paid by the local government, they may recover the amount of the compensation and costs from the local government in a court of competent jurisdiction.
