The process

Construction Certificates are the approval required before commencing construction after a development consent is obtained from the local council. They confirm that the plans and specifications are consistent with the development consent and comply with the National Construction Code.

This essential document ensures that your project adheres to local regulations and meets all necessary safety and environmental standards. Commencing construction before receiving your Construction Certificate is illegal and may make completing your project much more difficult.

Before applying for a Construction Certificate please ensure that you have familiarised yourself with your Development Consent and have complied with all of the conditions of consent marked as “Prior to the issue of a Construction certificate”.

Key benefits of a complying development certificate include quicker approvals, possible cost savings, reduced delays, with the ability to commence your project sooner. Additionally, complying development certificates provide certainty and peace of mind knowing that your project aligns with state government mandated design requirements and is not subject to council assessment.

The Complying Development Certificate (CDC) essentially acts as a combination of a Council Development Consent and a Construction Certificate however can only be issued if a development complies with the Exempt and Complying Development Codes SEPP or Housing SEPP.

Once you have a Construction Certificate or Complying Development Certificate a principal certifier must be appointed to begin construction, to oversee compliance with the development approval and stamped plans.

Wollongong Certificates provides this service which includes your mandatory critical stage inspections and conducting your final inspection to be able to issue the Occupation Certificate that you need to move in or start using your new development.

To issue the certificate we will require all of the documentation noted at commencement and any additional evidence to demonstrate compliance with the Building Code of Australia and the development approval.
