46J. Temporary compliance certificate
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2023.
Where an application has been made under section 46I for a compliance certificate for any controlled works, the Director-General may, before issuing the compliance certificate, issue a temporary compliance certificate in the first instance.
Director-General
“Director-General” means the Director-General of Public Health appointed under section 3(1);
A temporary compliance certificate is valid for such period as the Director-General may specify, and may be issued subject to conditions including (but not limited to) a condition that the developer of the controlled works comply with any written direction mentioned in section 46I(3)(b).
For the purposes of subsection (2), section 46I(3)(b) and (4) applies (with the necessary modifications) to that subsection.
A temporary compliance certificate is only prima facie evidence that the building that is the subject of the controlled works or in relation to which those works are done, has met the minimum environmental public health requirements that the Director-General considers necessary for occupation, and is not evidence that the controlled works have been completed in accordance with section 46I(1)(a) and (b).
building
“building” includes any house, hut, shed or roofed enclosure, whether used for the purpose of human habitation or otherwise, and any structure, support or foundation connected to the foregoing;
The Director-General may amend, suspend or, in the event of a failure to comply with any condition imposed under subsection (2), revoke any temporary compliance certificate.
