Environmental Planning and Assessment (Savings, Transitional and Other Provisions) Regulation 2017

In this clause, building consent means a consent granted under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 before the commencement of this Schedule for the purposes of a convertible Part 5 approval, being a consent that authorised the carrying out of building works in a ski resort area.

Without limiting the generality of clause 5, the Director-General may issue to the holder of a building consent a certificate certifying that the building consent is taken to be a construction certificate that authorises the carrying out of the building works authorised by the consent.

The certificate issued by the Director-General may provide that the construction certificate is subject to all of the conditions to which the building consent was subject or to such of those conditions as are specified in the Director-General’s certificate.

The Director-General is not to issue a certificate under this clause unless—

the Director-General is satisfied that any long service levy payable under section 34 of the Building and Construction Industry Long Service Payments Act 1986 (or where such a levy is payable by instalments, the first instalment of the levy) has been paid, and

the certificate identifies the classification, in accordance with the Building Code of Australia, of any building or proposed building the subject of the construction certificate concerned.

On the issue of the certificate by the Director-General, the building consent the subject of the certificate is taken to be a construction certificate that authorises the carrying out of the building works formerly authorised by the building consent, subject to the conditions imposed by the Director-General under subclause (3).
