(6) ACTPLA does not administer all of the provisions relating to energy efficiency under the Civil Law (Sale of Residential Property) Act 2003. Any assessments of an energy rating or related building matter undertaken by ACTPLA have been included in general compliance activities in the 2008-09 report.

(7) Specific detail on the number of audits for the 2008-09 financial year have not been included in the report because an audit program for energy ratings as distinct from standard compliance procedures did not commence during that year. Therefore these figures would not have been representative of the level of activity undertaken over the year. Future annual reports will however contain individual items as agreed to by the Assembly on 1 April 2009.
