Building Commissioner may remit complaint fees
9 Building Commissioner may remit complaint fees
The Building Commissioner may, in a particular case for financial hardship or if the Building Commissioner considers it is just to do so, direct in relation to a fee under regulation 8(2) —
that payment of the fee be waived; or
that the fee be reduced or that the whole or part of a fee be refunded; or
that the payment of the whole or part of the fee be deferred until the time, and upon the conditions, if any, the Building Commissioner thinks fit.
For the purposes of assessing financial hardship, the Building Commissioner must have regard to the applicant’s income, day‑to‑day living expenses, liabilities and assets.
Except as otherwise directed by the Building Commissioner, an application for a fee to be waived, reduced, refunded or deferred must be in a form approved by the Building Commissioner.
Before determining an application under this regulation, the Building Commissioner may require the applicant to provide the Commissioner with further information the Building Commissioner requires either orally or in writing.
A fee, payment of which has been deferred until an event occurs, becomes payable when that event occurs.
