Planning Certificate

A planning certificate is officially referred to as a Section 10.7 Certificate and are issued under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). It provides the applicant information that Council has about planning controls or other issues that may affect a particular piece of land.

Planning certificates are generated on the lot, not the street address. Properties that have multiple lots will require a separate planning certificate for each lot.

There are two types of planning certificates:

Section 10.7(2) Planning Certificate

This certificate shows information such as:

  • zoning of the property
  • relevant state, regional and local planning controls
  • other property issues such as road widening, contamination, hazards and risk restrictions including bushfire and flooding.

 

Section 10.7(2) and (5) Planning Certificate

This certificate shows the information provided in a Section 10.7(2) planning certificates and additional matters that may affect the lot such as the details of any flood affectation, details of environmentally significant land or other planning matters that may be relevant to the property.

A Flood Information Sheet is also provided as part of this certificate. Detailed information regarding flood levels are only included if the area is flood affected and has been flood risk mapped.
