What happens if I miss a mandatory inspection?

By law, an Occupation Certificate can’t be issued if a mandatory inspection hasn’t taken place, unless it’s deemed “unavoidable” and backed by solid evidence. Simply forgetting or miscommunication isn’t considered enough.

If an inspection is missed, the owner must be formally notified and extra steps are required. This may include a statutory declaration explaining the circumstances, first and/or third party certification and supporting documents such as engineering certifications and photos to prove compliance. Even then, approval is not guaranteed, which is why booking inspections on time is critical.
