The Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Amendment (Building Work Levy) Regulation 2022 has been notified on the NSW Legislation Website and is due to commence on 4 July 2022.
The amendments detail the process for the Secretary for Fair Trading to establish a regime for the levying of āDevelopersā in relation to new class 2 residential buildings, as well as renovations over $150,000 in value.
The stated intention for the levy is to cover the costs of administering the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 and the Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act 2020.
Fair Trading has recently uploaded a page providing details of the new levy, which can be accessedĀ here.
Key aspects in relation to the levy are:
Fair Trading has indicated that the developer is responsible for paying the levy.
The developer is noted as the person who provides the expected completion notice (ECN). In the case of remedial or repair work, if a consultant is engaged to carry out work and they submit an expected completion notice (ECN) on the NSW Planning Portal, they are responsible for paying the levy.
Building work:
Building work includes:
If a new build is being completed in stages, there will be multiple triggers for the levy relating to each expected completion date for a construction certificate.
Key exceptions include:
This depends on whether it is a new build or a renovation:
For new builds it is based on the number of storeys:
Fair Trading provides the following example:
As an example, for an 18-storey mixed use building, if the first stage of work has eleven storeys being released for occupation, it will be $11,000 for that stage and another $8,400 for the next stage with seven storeys. However, if the work was not staged and one occupation certificate for the whole 18 storeys was applied for, the levy will be $11,000.
Noting the above example, the staging of works will result in additional costs under the levy regime.
A more modest amount is payable for repair, renovation of protective treatment of a class 2 building, or part of a class 2 building.
The figure is based on the cost of the work:
If works involve both repair and the addition of storeys the higher levy will apply.
