429: Transitional provision for matters of doubt or dispute relating to building control under former Act
or “ Rules for handling unfinished questions about building rules from the old law ”
You could also call this:

“A rule about paying old building fees that weren't paid on time before the new law started”

If you owed a building levy under Part 3A of the old law before this new law started, and you haven’t paid it yet, you need to know two important things. First, you must pay the levy to the chief executive, just as if it were a levy under the new law. Second, all the rules in the new law will apply to that levy. This means that even though you owed the money under the old law, it will be treated as if it’s part of the new law for all purposes.
