Planning Certificates:10.7

A Section 10.7 Planning Certificate provides you with information about the development potential of a parcel of land. They are usually required upon the sale or purchase of a property.

There are two types of Section 10.7 Planning Certificates:

1. A 10.7(2) Certificate shows:

  • the zoning of the property
  • the relevant state, regional and local planning controls
  • other property constraints such as land contamination, level of flooding and bushfire-prone land.

2. A 10.7(2) and (5) Certificate provides the same information, and also includes other details that apply to the land such as:

  • advice from other authorities
  • development approvals

Things to consider:

  • You’ll need the address of the parcel of land to complete your application (and preferably the Lot and DP details)
  • An application fee will also apply. Please note: If you select the 'URGENT' option, this will attract a higher fee. 

Please note: A planning certificate is not a development approval. If you're looking to do development on your land, you'll need to submit a Development Application via the NSW Planning Portal to get approval from Council.
