An application for the grant or removal of a licence, or for a change in the use or condition of any premises, must be accompanied by a certificate from the local government for the district in which the premises to which the application relates are situated, or are to be situated, unless the Director otherwise determines.
A certificate referred to in subsection (1) shall state —
whether or not the premises comply with all relevant requirements of —

the Food Act 2008; and
any written law applying to the sewerage or drainage of those premises; and
the Local Government Act 1995; and
the Building Act 2011;
and
where the premises do not so comply, the manner in which the premises could be made to comply or that the premises could not reasonably be made to comply.
The Director may, where the Director is satisfied that it is desirable to do so, impose a condition on a licence relating to the submission, or further submission, to the Director of a certificate referred to in subsection (1).
