BUILDING ACT 2004 - SECT 28A

Marking building approval

    (1)     If a certifier issues a building approval under section 28

        (a)     the approval must be marked on, attached to or partly marked on and partly attached to, each page of the plans it relates to; and

        (b)     the certifier must—

              (i)     initial, date and mark the certifier's licence number on each page of the plans; and

              (ii)     attach each accompanying document to the plans; and

              (iii)     if the accompanying documents do not include an asbestos assessment report—attach an asbestos advice to the plans.

Note     If a form is approved under s 151 for a building approval, the form must be used.

    (2)     However, if, because of the size of the plans, it is impractical to mark the building approval on each page of the plans, the certifier may, instead of marking the approval under subsection (1) (a), mark each page of the plans with—

        (a)     the certifier's initials and licence number and the date; and

        (b)     an indication that the approval, or part of the approval, is in a separate document.

    (3)     Also, if, because of the size of 1 or more of the accompanying documents (the relevant documents ), it is impractical to attach the relevant documents to the plans, the certifier may, instead of attaching the relevant documents under subsection (1) (b) (ii), mark each page of the plans with an indication that the relevant documents are separate.

    (4)     If the certifier issues the building approval, the certifier must—

        (a)     give to the person who applied for the approval a copy of—

              (i)     the approval; and

              (ii)     the relevant plans; and

              (iii)     if the certifier issues a site work notice in relation to the site work to which the building work relates—the site work notice; and

              (iv)     if 1 or more of the accompanying documents are not attached to the plans—the accompanying documents that are not attached; and

        (b)     not later than 7 days after the day of issue, give to the construction occupations registrar—

              (i)     a copy of the approval; and

              (ii)     the building approval certificate; and

              (iii)     a copy of the relevant plans; and

              (iv)     if the certifier issues a site work notice in relation to the site work to which the building work relates—a copy of the site work notice; and

              (v)     if 1 or more of the accompanying documents are not attached to the plans—a copy of the accompanying documents that are not attached; and

              (vi)     if notification of the certifier's appointment has not previously been given to the registrar—notification of the appointment.

Note 1     If a form is approved under s 151 for a notification of appointment, the form must be used.

Note 2     A fee may be determined under s 150 for this section.
