Building Act 2004

If a certifier issues a building approval under section 28—

the approval must be marked on, attached to or partly marked on and partly attached to, each page of the plans it relates to; and

the certifier must—

initial, date and mark the certifier’s licence number on each page of the plans; and

attach each accompanying document to the plans; and

if the accompanying documents do not include an asbestos assessment report—attach an asbestos advice to the plans.

However, if, because of the size of the plans, it is impractical to mark the building approval on each page of the plans, the certifier may, instead of marking the approval under subsection (1) (a), mark each page of the plans with—

the certifier’s initials and licence number and the date; and

an indication that the approval, or part of the approval, is in a separate document.

Also, if, because of the size of 1 or more of the accompanying documents (the relevant documents), it is impractical to attach the relevant documents to the plans, the certifier may, instead of attaching the relevant documents under subsection (1) (b) (ii), mark each page of the plans with an indication that the relevant documents are separate.

If the certifier issues the building approval, the certifier must—

give to the person who applied for the approval a copy of—

the approval; and

the relevant plans; and

if the certifier issues a site work notice in relation to the site work to which the building work relates—the site work notice; and

if 1 or more of the accompanying documents are not attached to the plans—the accompanying documents that are not attached; and

not later than 7 days after the day of issue, give to the construction occupations registrar—

a copy of the approval; and

the building approval certificate; and

a copy of the relevant plans; and

if the certifier issues a site work notice in relation to the site work to which the building work relates—a copy of the site work notice; and

if 1 or more of the accompanying documents are not attached to the plans—a copy of the accompanying documents that are not attached; and

if notification of the certifier’s appointment has not previously been given to the registrar—notification of the appointment.

In this section:

Section 26 requires certain documents to accompany applications for building approval and allows other material required to accompany applications to be prescribed by regulation.
