2/06/2009 5:56:31 PM Under the Development Act, private certifiers can perform the same duties as councils in relation to the building rules assessment function (and associated tasks). They assess proposed developments against the Building Rules, assign classifications, grant Building Rules Consents (but not a Development Approval), impose conditions under which the building work must be constructed (if necessary), issue essential safety provisions, and may issue certificates of occupancy.
In order to practise, a private certifier must be registered. Evidence of registration will be in the form of a Certificate of Registration.
