Notice of Completion

Page 1 of 1
My builder has final issued a notice that the house is 'almost complete'. My bank is asking for a proper 'notice of completion' before booking an inspection or drawing final payment.

My question .... What should a "Notice of Completion' look like?
I have a letter stating the house is 'close to completion and reaching settlement' attached to this is everything that should be attached to a Letter of Completion such as the OcCert and Final Invoice.

Is my bank just being pedantic? Or is this not enough to warrant a 'Notice of Completion'? I understand that the bank has the final say, so whatever they ask for I have to provide. But I would like to know what it is meant to look like
Here in QLD (not sure where you are?) we get a 'practical completion notice', and it's a Master Builder's document. I believe the date on this notice can be pre or post dated. If you're not in QLD, there may be an equivalent in your state.

Oh sorry I am in Victoria. I have tried googling for a sample, but can't seem to find anything. I might have to wait until Monday to speak bank and find out exactly what they are after, the lady said that the letter I received was too vague and didn't have the wording that she looks for.
The normal situation is that you carry out a Practical Completion Inspection PCI (See http://www.anewhouse.com.au/2012/01/pra ... nspection/ ) in which all the items that require to be fixed are identified by you or your inspecctor.

A handover date can then be fixed with the bank arranging their inspection before handover
