Notices of Completion and Cessation
When is a Notice of Completion required?
A Notice of Completion Form BA7 must be provided to the City within seven days of the completion of building or demolition works.
Who is responsible for providing a Notice of Completion?
It is the responsibility of the person named as the builder or demolition contractor on a Building or Demolition Permit to provide the Form BA7. Penalties may apply if the Form BA7 is not provided within seven days of the completion of building or demolition works.
A Notice of Cessation Form BA8 is provided when the person named as the builder or demolition contractor on a Building or Demolition Permit stops being responsible for the building or demolition works. A new responsible person must then be appointed for the remainder of the building or demolition works.
It is the responsibility of the person named as the builder or demolition contractor on a Building or Demolition Permit to provide the Form BA8 once they cease being responsible for the building or demolition works.
Where the responsible person for building or demolition works submits a Notice of Cessation, or their required registration expires, the owner of the building or structure can apply to the City to approve a new responsible person to complete the building work on a Form BA19.
