Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2016-10-12.
The bill would update the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 to use the standard civil penalty and infringement notice rules from the Regulatory Powers Act.
It does this by applying Part 4 (civil penalties) and Part 5 (infringement notices) of the Regulatory Powers Act to the BEED Act, and modifying those rules to keep existing powers.
The changes are limited to procedural matters and do not expand the current regulatory powers framework.
- Repeals existing civil penalty and infringement notice provisions in the BEED Act and replaces them with corresponding provisions from the Regulatory Powers Act.
- Modifies the operation of the Regulatory Powers Act to retain certain existing powers in the BEED Act, such as maximum pecuniary penalty and time limits for representations.
- Makes the BEED Act a triggering Act under the Regulatory Powers Act, requiring it to identify authorised persons, relevant courts, and infringement officers.
Commercial building owners, lessors, and lessees subject to the Commercial Building Disclosure Scheme.
