Regulated building work—designs prepared
4 Regulated building work—designs prepared
This clause applies to a design for regulated building work if—
the regulated building work is authorised to be carried out by a construction certificate or a complying development certificate, and
the design was prepared before 1 July 2021, and
the person who prepared the design is not eligible to be registered after 30 June 2021 in a class that would permit the person to provide a design compliance declaration for the design, and
the regulated building work is commenced after 30 June 2021 and before 1 July 2022.
The design is taken to be a regulated design for which a design compliance declaration has been given if a registered design practitioner—
assesses whether or not the design complies with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia, and
issues a certificate in an approved form that the design does comply with the requirements.
The registered building practitioner must not carry out building work under the construction certificate or complying development certificate until copies of the design and certificate are provided to the Secretary.
Maximum penalty—200 penalty units for a body corporate or 100 penalty units for an individual.
If a design that is taken to be a regulated design is varied on or after 1 July 2021, this clause no longer applies to the design.
Note—
A registered design practitioner will be required to prepare the varied design.
