Compliance Assessment and Certificate of Compliance application

Overview

Apply for a compliance assessment or a Certificate of Compliance for your development.

In accordance with s286 of the Planning Act 2016, compliance assessment has transitioned to code assessment. The majority of works previously considered compliance assessment will now be operational works as identified with the categories of development and assessment for operational works of the planning scheme. Operational works applications will be processed in accordance with the Planning Act 2016.

For those approvals issued prior to the Planning Act 2016 that conditioned compliance assessment, these can be dealt with as if the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 had not been repealed. A compliance assessment application will be processed in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. An application for compliance assessment will require this application form along with the applicable application fee and documentation addressing the relevant condition/s (i.e. plans, supporting information, etc.).

While most conditions requiring further assessment will be identified as operational works, some conditions will require a Certificate of Compliance. An application for a Certificate of Compliance will require this application form along with the applicable application fee and documentation addressing the relevant condition/s (i.e. plans, supporting information, etc.). The request will be assessed and if no further information is required, or a response for further information provided, the application will be assessed and decided within 20 business days.
