           (2)   Subject to subsection (1), this Act does not prevent a local
25               planning scheme or an amendment referred to in subsection (1),
                 being made during the development period so as to commence
                 on the development completion day.

10                      development completion day under the development
                        plan; and
                  (b) cause the amendment to be published in the Gazette as if
                        it were an amendment made under the Planning and

                             that Act.
           (2)   Insofar as the building laws apply to or in respect of any
10               building that is or may be constructed, or to any activity that is

                 laws apply until but not including the development completion
                 day as if --
                   (a) any reference in them to the local government were

                   (b) any reference in them to the chief executive officer of
                         the local government were instead a reference to the
                         Minister for Works.
           (3)   Until but not including the development completion day, the
20               Minister for Works has and may perform any function under the
                 building laws that the City of Nedlands has in respect of any
                 building that is or may be constructed, or of any activity that is
                 or may be carried out, on the development area.

25               the building laws by the Minister for Works in respect of any
                 matter connected with the development area has effect as if it

                 day the Minister for Works must give the City of Nedlands --
30                 (a) a copy of any approval, licence or other document
                         issued by the Minister for Works under the building

                         development area; and

                                                                             page 17

                         connected with the development area and that has not
                         been decided by the Minister for Works; and
 5                 (c)   any fee received by the Minister for Works in respect of

                         under the building laws in respect of any matter
                         connected with the development area.
10         (6)   On receiving an application referred to in subsection (5)(b), the
                 City of Nedlands must deal with it as if it had been made to the

                         authorised by a development approval; or
                     (b) that contravenes a development approval or any
20                       condition to which a development approval is subject.

25                    development and to do so before a day specified in the
                      notice being a day not less than 21 days after the day on
                      which the notice is served; or
                  (b) direct a person who is undertaking an unauthorised
                      development to stop doing so immediately; or
30                (c) give both such directions to one person.

                 delegation unless the contrary is shown.
10         (4)   This section does not limit the Minister for Works' ability to act
                 through an officer or agent.

           (1)   In this section --
                 "officer" of a body corporate has the meaning given to the term
15                    in the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth but
                      does not include an employee of the body unless the
                      employee was concerned in the management of the body.
           (2)   If a body corporate is charged with an offence under this Act,
                 every person who was an officer of the body at the time of the
20               alleged offence may also be charged with the offence.
           (3)   If a body corporate and an officer are charged as permitted by
                 subsection (2) and the body corporate is convicted of the

                 committed may be charged with the offence.
           (5)   If an officer is charged as permitted by subsection (4) and it is
30               proved that the body corporate committed the offence, the

                 to subsection (6).
           (6)   If under this section an officer is charged with an offence it is a
                 defence to prove --
 5                 (a) that the offence was committed without the officer's
                         consent or connivance; and
                   (b) that the officer took all the measures to prevent the
                         commission of the offence that he or she could
                         reasonably be expected to have taken having regard to
10                       the officer's functions and to all the circumstances.

     38.         Regulations
