Construction Certificate Application

Before you can start building or construction work you must apply for Construction Certificate via the NSW Planning Portal. You do not have to submit your Construction Certificate via a Council Certifier, you may choose to submit this application through a Private Certifier.

A Construction Certificate (CC) becomes necessary once Development Consent has been granted, and it must be obtained before commencing any construction work. The purpose of a CC is to ensure the following:

1. Detailed Construction Plans and Specifications align with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and any other applicable Australian standards.
2. The Construction Plans and Specifications align with the conditions of the Development Consent.
3. All stipulated conditions of the Development Consent have been met.
4. All fees and deposits have been paid.

• All information required by the checklist must be submitted with your application on the NSW Planning Portal, even if you have already provided this information before in seeking approval for development.
• Incomplete applications or illegible information will not be accepted by Council.
• All fees are to be paid before your application can be lodged.
