BUILDING ACT 1993 - SECT 216A

Exemption from functions in relation to certain permits

    (1)     A council may apply to the Minister to exempt its municipal building surveyor from any requirement to consider applications for building permits for building work other than prescribed domestic building work.

    (2)     The Minister may grant the exemption if the Minister is satisfied that sufficient private building surveyors are available to consider those applications for building permits in relation to land in the council's municipal district.

    (3)     If the Minister grants an exemption in respect of a municipal building surveyor, then, despite anything to the contrary in this Act and while the exemption is in force, an application cannot be made to the municipal building surveyor under Part 3 for a building permit for building work other than prescribed domestic building work.

    (4)     The Minister may at any time revoke an exemption given under this section.

    (5)     The Minister must cause notice of any exemption or revocation under this section to be published in the Government Gazette.
