Section 10.7 Planning Certificate Application
A section 10.7 Planning Certificate is a certificate issued by Council under the provisions of section 10.7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 on a single parcel of land. This certificate provides planning information on the land and the potential and restrictions on its development.
A section 10.7 certificate can only be issued on a lot that has been registered and is only legally correct as of the day of processing.
There are two types of Section 10.7 Certificates
A section 10.7(2) certificate provides information as legislated by Schedule 2 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 and includes the zoning of the land; existing and draft state, regional and local planning controls; and other planning information applying to the land including heritage, flooding, contamination, mine subsidence, and whether it is bush fire prone.
A section 10.7(2) & 10.7(5) certificate provides the information included in a section 10.7(2) certificate along with additional information provided at the discretion of Council.
A section 10.7 certificate must legally be attached to a contract for the sale of land. It is recommended that a section 10.7(2) & 10.7(5) certificate be applied for when purchasing land.
