New South Wales Consolidated Acts

ARCHITECTS ACT 2003 - SECT 28

28 Annual registration fees

(1) An architect must, on or before 31 March of each year following the year in which the architect was first registered, pay to the Board the approved fee for annual registration.

(2) The Board must cause an architect’s name to be removed from the Register if the architect has failed to pay the approved fee for annual registration by the due date.

(3) A person whose name has been removed from the Register for failure to pay the approved fee for annual registration is entitled to re-registration if the person pays to the Board any unpaid annual registration fee or fees together with any approved fee for late payment.

(4) The entitlement to re-registration is an entitlement to registration on the same terms and subject to the same conditions (if any) as applied to the person’s registration immediately before the removal of the person’s name from the Register.

(5) A person registered pursuant to an entitlement to re-registration under this section is taken to have been so registered on and from the day the person’s name was removed from the Register or on and from such later day as the Board determines and notifies to the person. However, nothing in this subsection affects any proceedings for an offence instituted against the person before the person was entitled to be re-registered.

(6) Nothing in this section requires the Board to re-register a person if the Board is satisfied that the person would not be entitled to be registered as an architect but for this section.

(7) An entitlement to re-registration under this section does not override any other provision of this Act pursuant to which a person’s name is authorised or required to be removed from the Register.

(8) The regulations may exclude or modify the provisions of this section in their application to temporary registration.
