Amendment 25 addresses an anomaly in section 71 of the act which requires the ACT Construction Occupations Registrar to certify that demolition of a building complies with the relevant requirements of the act. Amendment 26 inserts into the bill the proposed new amendment 1.63A. It changes section 142 (2) of the Building Act by deleting “person” and substituting “entity”.
Amendment 27 combines proposed clauses 1.64 and 1.65 into a single clause, which is the proposed new clause 1.64. Amendment 28 makes a consequential amendment to the bill’s proposed new section 152 (2) (c) of the Building Act. The bill only dealt with advice from referral entities, but it needs also to deal with consultations with and consents from referral entities. Amendment 29 makes consequential amendments to paragraph (a) in the Building Act dictionary definition of the term “certifier”. The effect is to insert additional cross-references to relevant proposed sections in the bill.
Amendment 31 deletes clause 1.80 and substitutes a revised new clause 1.80 in the bill. This substitution follows legal advice on how to make the provision more effective. It inserts into the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 a proposed new section 33A entitled “Rectification orders—exercise of registrar’s powers”.
Amendment 32 deletes the proposed new subsection (36) (3) of the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act and substitutes a revised provision. The revised subsection is virtually identical to amendment 31 about exercising rectification order powers.
Penultimately, amendment 33 inserts a proposed new clause 181A into the bill to make consequential amendments to cross-references in the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act. Finally, amendment 34 corrects a typographical error.
