sec.67 Notification of building and construction work
If building and construction work is to be carried out, an approved form must be filed, as required under subsection (2) , with the authority or its agent by or for the person for whom the work is to be done. Maximum penalty—40 penalty units. The approved form must be filed— if a development permit under the Planning Act is required for the work—before the permit is given; or if a permit under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018 is required for the work—before the permit is issued; or otherwise—before the work starts. However, the form need not be filed if levy is not payable because of section 70 (2) (a) . Also, if the actual cost of carrying out building and construction work is at least $50,000 more than the amount on which the levy payable for the work was calculated, the person for whom the work was done must, within 30 days after the work ends— give the authority notice of the increased cost of the work; and pay to the authority the additional amount of levy payable because of the increased cost. Maximum penalty for subsection (4) —40 penalty units. s 67 ins 1994 No. 65 s 20 amd 2000 No. 61 s 50 ; 2005 No. 27 s 17 ; 2009 No. 36 s 872 sch 2 ; 2016 No. 27 s 115 ; 2018 No. 17 s 197 sch 2 (sec.67-ssec.1) If building and construction work is to be carried out, an approved form must be filed, as required under subsection (2) , with the authority or its agent by or for the person for whom the work is to be done.
