(a) receive and assess a building development application; and
(b) decide the application and grant or refuse the building development approval applied for as if the certifier were the person, who, under IPA, section 3.1.7, is the assessment manager; and
(c) decide whether enforcement action under this Act or IPA ought to be taken for a building development approval granted by--
