44. Refusal of occupancy permit

The relevant building surveyor must not issue an occupancy permit under this
Division-

   (a)  unless the building, or the part of the building, to which the permit
        applies is suitable for occupation; and

   (b)  if plumbing work for which section 221ZH required the issue of a
        compliance certificate was carried out in conjunction with the
        building work on the building or part of the building in respect of
        which the permit is sought, unless the building surveyor has seen a
        copy of the compliance certificate.
