Assessment Managers and Private Certifiers
The Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991 places a statutory requirement on the Assessment Manager (Local Government or Private Certifier - Class A) to sight a receipted Building and Construction Industry Notification and Payment form.
Where a development application for building, operational, plumbing or drainage work (with an estimated cost of $150,000 or more excluding GST) has been lodged, the Assessment Manager must not issue the development permit, or approval, unless they've seen:
- an approved form OR
- Written advice from QLeave stating:
- that the levies, or the first instalment of levies, has been paid OR
- that an exemption from payment of the levies exists in relation to the work OR
- that an exemption from immediate payment of the levies exists in relation to the work.
The statutory requirement is only to sight the receipted form. However, Assessment Managers (Local Governments and Private Certifiers - Class A) should retain the receipted copy of the Notification and Payment form for compliance purposes.
If it appears that the cost of work on the development application or Notification and Payment Form is understated, please inform us so that we can investigate further.
For additional information, please refer to Section 77 of the Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991.
An Assessment Manager (Local Government or Private Certifier - Class A) can claim a fee for sighting the approved Notification and Payment form. For further information about making a claim, go to the Sighting Fees page.
Providing information to QLeave
QLeave may require information or records about building and construction work from any person that we reasonably believe has documents or knowledge.
We're entitled to request an Assessment Manager (Local Government or Private Certifier - Class A) to provide a copy of a development application and other documents so we can administer the Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991.
