Subject to subsection (4) , within 10 business days after notifiable work is finished, the relevant person for the work must give the following to the commissioner, unless the person has a reasonable excuse— a notice, in the approved form, about the work; the fee prescribed by regulation for giving the notice. Maximum penalty—60 penalty units. However, the relevant person is not required to comply with subsection (1) if a permit has been issued for— the notifiable work; or work that includes the notifiable work. Subject to subsection (4) , within 20 business days after the notifiable work is finished, the relevant person must give a copy of the notice, and an explanatory statement, to— an occupier of the premises; or any other person who asked the relevant person to carry out the work. Maximum penalty—60 penalty units.
