a licensed builder, and she is not able to get a new licence. Jo must arrange,
and pay for, a licensed builder to finish building the dwelling.
3 Alex is a licensed plumber who did non-compliant work on a building that
caused extensive water leakage. A rectification order requires him to fix the
damage caused by the leakage, including replacing render on the building’s
exterior, replacing wall linings and insulation in the wall cavity, and repainting
walls and replacing carpet in the interior. None of this work requires a licence
or other authorisation under ACT law. Alex is able to paint the interior walls
to an acceptable standard, but he has never done any of the other kind of work.
He must arrange, and pay for, people with appropriate experience and skill to
do the rest of the work.
(6) The rectification order must state a period within which what is
required to be done must be done.
(7) The stated period for a rectification order other than an emergency
rectification order must not be less than 1 month after the day the
rectification order is given to the entity.
Note Details of the rectification order must be included in the register (see
s 108).
(8) A copy of the rectification order must be given to the land owner.
