Code of Australia , or
(b) is, or is of a kind, declared by the Planning
Secretary (by notice published in the Gazette) to be a structure to which this
paragraph applies.
(2) A principal certifier (
"PC" ) for building work to which this clause applies is required to carry out
(or to be satisfied that another certifier has carried out) inspections in
respect of that work on the occasions specified by this clause (and on such
other occasions as may be required by the PC) before the use of the structure
may commence.
(3) The occasions on which inspections (
"critical stage inspections" ) must be carried out are--

for, and prior to the placement of, any footings, and
(b) prior to pouring
any in-situ reinforced concrete building element, and

critical stage inspections may be carried out by the PC or, if the PC agrees,
by another certifier.

carried out on completion of the building work must be carried out by the PC.

be satisfied that the PC has been provided with all certificates that the PC
is required to be provided with as a condition, under State Environmental
Planning Policy (Three Ports) 2013 , of any complying development certificate
