Exemption from insurance for certain registered charities
59A Exemption from insurance for certain registered charities
The holder of a contractor licence who does residential building work is exempt from the requirements of the Act, Part 6 if—
the work is being done—
on behalf of a developer who is a recognised housing provider, or
in accordance with development consent granted under State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021 to a recognised housing provider, and
the contract for the work states that the holder is relying on the exemption under this clause, and
for a contract entered into with a Local Aboriginal Land Council that is approved under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, section 52A to provide rental accommodation under a community benefits scheme—the contract includes a copy of the approval.
Subclause (1)(c) does not apply to a contract entered into with a Local Aboriginal Land Council that is—
a registered community housing provider under the Community Housing Providers (Adoption of National Law) Act 2012, Appendix, or
a registered provider of specialist disability accommodation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 of the Commonwealth.
In this clause—
Local Aboriginal Land Council has the same meaning as in the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983.
recognised housing provider means a registered charity under the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 of the Commonwealth that is—
a Local Aboriginal Land Council approved under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, section 52A to provide rental accommodation under a community benefits scheme, or
a registered community housing provider under the Community Housing Providers (Adoption of National Law) Act 2012, Appendix, or
a registered provider of specialist disability accommodation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 of the Commonwealth.
