NOTES
1. Where the address has been amended since the building
warrant was granted, or where the submission covers only
part of a building warrant (for example is for one house in a
development of several dwellings that were subject to a single
warrant) an address identifying the work covered by the
submission must be supplied.
2. The person signing this form is declaring compliance with
building regulations by signing the application for a
temporary occupation or use. The verifier will undertake
reasonable inquiry, considering mitigation measures, and if
satisfied will permit temporary occupation or use.
WARNING
This permission does not exempt you from obtaining any other
types of permission that may be necessary before the building is
used, such as planning permission or licensing.
This application does not permit the occupation or use of a
building following construction or conversion. It is an offence to
occupy or use such a building until the verifier permits temporary
occupation or use of the building, during the period specified.
Should a completion certificate not be accepted by a verifier
within the specified period, an application should be made for [a]
further period[s] of temporary occupation or use.
If any person submits an application for temporary occupation or
use which that person knows to be false or misleading in a material
particular or recklessly makes an application for temporary
occupation or use containing a statement which is false or
mislea
d
in
g
in
a material particular the person is guilty of an
offence.
