BUILDING ACT 2004 - SECT 58

    (1)     This section applies if a stop notice has been given on a ground other than a ground mentioned in section 53 (1) (a) (which is about building work for which there is no approval).

    (2)     Within 7 days after the day the stop notice is given, the construction occupations registrar may, by a further written notice, state the building work (including demolition) that is required to be carried out to ensure that the building work for which the building approval was issued will be carried out in accordance with the approved plans and the provisions of this Act.

    (3)     The further notice must state the period within which the building work stated in the notice must be carried out.

    (4)     However, if the ground for the stop notice is mentioned in section 53 (1) (g) (which is about building work that does not comply with an approval), the construction occupations registrar may give a notice under this section to carry out the demolition of a building only if the territory planning authority recommends giving the notice.

    (5)     Any building work done by a person to comply with a notice under this section is taken not to contravene the stop notice.

    (6)     A notice issued under this section ends if the ground for the issue of the stop notice to which it relates no longer exists.
