Design and Building Practitioners Regulation 2021

This clause applies to regulated building work if—

the regulated building work is authorised to be carried out by a construction certificate or a complying development certificate, and

some of the regulated building work authorised to be carried out by the certificate has commenced before 3 July 2023, and

all the regulated building work authorised to be carried out by the certificate has not been completed by that day.

For the Act, section 107(5), the regulated building work or a design in relation to the regulated building work is exempt from the following requirements of the Act—

provisions requiring regulated designs to be prepared for the regulated building work, including requirements for compliance declarations,

provisions requiring a person to be registered to carry out the regulated building work,

provisions requiring a building compliance declaration to be prepared for the regulated building work.

However, for the exemption under subclause (2) to apply, the building practitioner for the regulated building work must provide copies of all designs relied on to carry out the regulated building work—

to the Secretary in the approved way, and

before an application is made for an occupation certificate for a building to which the regulated building work relates.

For the Act, section 26, a principal certifier must not issue an occupation certificate for a building to which the regulated building work relates unless satisfied that all designs required to be provided to the Secretary under this clause have been provided.
