Target Audience

Building and compliance staff.

 

Overview

Under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 and its associated regulations a range of new expiation fees have been fixed (primarily for building offences) in relation to offences that were not previously able to be expiated.

The ability to issue expiation notices for breaches of the legislation is a very useful, cheap and often effective enforcement tool that can be used by councils. There is however a need to understand the legislative regime that regulates expiation notices and this session will provide Council officers with the knowledge and capability to decide when and how to issue expiation notices.

The session will also include practical examples related to the relevant building offences and discuss the evidence and documentation required to issue expiation notices.

 

Key Learnings

• An understanding of the legislative framework that regulates expiations;
• The new expiable offences;
• When and how to issue expiation notices.
