Exemption relating to the doing of residential building work
24 Exemption relating to the doing of residential building work
An individual who does residential building work in connection with a dwelling is exempt from the requirements of sections 12 (Unlicensed work) and 13 (Unqualified residential building work) of the Act if the individual owns the land on which the dwelling is located, the work does not include specialist work and the work does not need to be authorised by an owner-builder permit.
For the purposes of this clause—
if land is owned by a company that is wholly owned by individuals, the land is to be taken (for the purposes of this Division) to be owned by those individuals, and
a reference to an owner of land includes a reference to a person who has a prescribed interest (as prescribed by clause 19 (2)) in the land.
