Using Council as your Certifier

Apply for a Construction Certificate

After obtaining development consent, you must obtain a Construction Certificate before commencing any building work. 

The Construction Certificate confirms the construction plans and development specifications are consistent with the development consent, and that they comply with the Building Code of Australia and all other planning requirements. 

To request a Construction Certificate from Council, you must complete an application and checklist.
