Building, construction and development forms
All relevant forms and checklists must be completed and submitted with your application before any planned construction or development can begin. Below is a full list of forms and checklists that may be required for your application.
Certification Forms and Checklists
We have updated our Certification Application portal so some PDF development certificate forms are now part of the online lodgement process on the Planning Portal. Certification Contract forms remain available as a downloadable PDF.
The ‘Owners consent’ PDF form has been removed and is now a mandatory field in the new ‘Contract for Certification Works’ form. The following documents have also been removed and are now completed in the Planning Portal:
- Complying Development Certificate - Application Form
- Complying Development Certification - Contract for work
- Construction Certificate - Application Form
- Construction Certificate - Contract for Works
- Occupation Certificate
Contact our 1300 581 299 Customer Service Centres between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday for any further questions.
