sec.61 Delaying inspection in particular circumstances
A builder for pool work may, before the inspection day, give the building certifier for the pool work a notice (a deferral notice ) asking the building certifier to inspect the pool work on a day that is later than the inspection day (the later inspection day ). The later inspection day must be before the building development approval lapses. If the building certifier is a local government building certifier, the deferral notice may be given under subsection (1) by giving it to the local government. If the building certifier receives a deferral notice, the building certifier is not required to inspect the pool work before the later inspection day. Also, if the building certifier receives a deferral notice the building certifier must, unless the building certifier has a reasonable excuse, inspect, or ensure another building certifier inspects the pool work before the building development approval lapses. Maximum penalty—50 penalty units. Sections 59 (2) and 60 apply in relation to an inspection mentioned in subsection (5) .
