EnviroDevelopments may be subject to random site checks. Where appropriate, and at UDIA’s discretion, further information may be requested to ensure the integrity of EnviroDevelopment certification and the continued compliance of certified developments.
Certified developers must advise UDIA within three weeks of any changes made, or proposed to be made, to the proposed or existing development which may affect eligibility for EnviroDevelopment certification.
If the UDIA has concerns regarding a breach of the certification of a development, UDIA will advise the developer of their concerns and request evidence of compliance within ten working days of the notice.
EnviroDevelopment certification may be revoked if UDIA is not satisfied that the certified EnviroDevelopment is performing as per the requirements. In the instance of non-conformance, the licence may be revoked and the application fee will not be refunded. There may also be cause to make public statements about such non-compliance to ensure the broader integrity of EnviroDevelopment. The developer will also be ineligible for EnviroDevelopment certification for any project for a period of two (2) years. Similarly, any certifying professionals found to be providing substantially incorrect or false statements or evidence for the purpose of EnviroDevelopment certification may be declared by the Board of UDIA to be ineligible to provide evidence for EnviroDevelopment certification for a period of 2 years.
Such actions by any party may be found to constitute a breach of the UDIA (Qld) Code of Ethics and result in loss of UDIA (Qld) Membership.
The use of the EnviroDevelopment logo will be protected and action will be taken against persons or organisations found to be fraudulently representing a development, or a component of a development, as an EnviroDevelopment.
EnviroDevelopment certification should not be seen as an alternative to compliance with local, state or federal laws. Developments (including EnviroDevelopments) must fulfil their regulatory requirements under the relevant legislation and planning schemes.
