Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991

In this regulation —

A preliminary notice or notice of completion must be delivered to the relevant network operator —

by means of the eNotice portal; or

if the person delivering the notice has been approved by the Director under subregulation (2A) to deliver the notice in another manner — in that manner; or

if the eNotice portal is unavailable at the time of delivery — in another manner approved by the Director under subregulation (2B) for the purposes of this paragraph.

The Director may approve a person, or persons in a class of person, to deliver a preliminary notice or notice of completion in a manner other than by means of the eNotice portal if the Director is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to require the person, or persons in that class, to use the eNotice portal.

For the purposes of subregulation (2)(c), the Director must approve another manner in which a person may deliver a preliminary notice or notice of completion to the relevant network operator if the eNotice portal is unavailable for use.

If a preliminary notice or notice of completion is delivered to the relevant network operator by means of the eNotice portal under subregulation (2)(a) or by another means of electronic communication approved by the Director under subregulation (2)(b) or (c) by, or on behalf of, an electrical contractor, the notice is to be regarded as having been signed or executed by the electrical contractor if the electrical contractor’s name appears in the appropriate place in the notice.

A person commits an offence if the person delivers a preliminary notice or a notice of completion that the person knows, or ought reasonably to know, is false or misleading.

An electrical contractor commits an offence if the electrical contractor delivers a notice of completion for notifiable work that was not carried out, or caused to be carried out, by or under the direction of the electrical contractor.
