CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATE

What is a Construction Certificate?

Once Development Consent has been issued for proposals involving building work, a Construction Certificate (CC) must be obtained prior to commencement of any building work.

A Construction Certificate is an approval that certifies that:

  • Work completed in accordance with specified plans and specifications will comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) including relevant associated structural standards and codes;
  • The detailed construction plans and specifications are "not inconsistent" with the development consent; and
  • All Prior to Issue of Construction Certificate conditions of the development consent have been satisfied.

Note:  An application for a Construction Certificate may be lodged at the same time as your Development Application or at any time after the lodgement of the Development Application.
