7A. Restriction on payment of valuers for general valuations



(1) A council must not pay any valuer who is not a full-time member of the
council's staff for any work in respect of a general valuation unless the
valuer-general has issued a certificate of satisfactory valuation or valuation
progress in respect of the valuation.

(2) Despite subsection (1), a council may make such a payment if-

   (a)  it notifies the Valuer-general in writing that it intends to do so;
        and

   (b)  the Valuer-general fails to give it, within 30 days after the
        notification, either-

   (i)  a certificate of satisfactory valuation or valuation progress; or

   (ii) a written notice setting out the matters that need to be rectified
        before he or she will issue such a certificate.
