(DA) Construction Certificate Application Forms
A Construction Certificate (CC) is an integral part of the development process, closely tied to the Development Application (DA) process.
Once your DA has been approved by the local council, you will need to obtain a Construction Certificate before commencing any construction work.
While the DA focuses on the overall development concept and its compliance with planning regulations, the Construction Certificate delves into the technical aspects of the project. It evaluates the detailed construction plans, engineering designs, and other relevant documentation to ensure that the proposed construction meets the required building codes, standards, and regulations.

What is the Development Application Process?
A Development Application (DA) is a formal request or proposal submitted to the local council or relevant authority to seek approval for a proposed development or land-use activity. It is an essential part of the planning process and serves as a means of obtaining permission to carry out specific types of development on a particular property.
A Development Application typically includes detailed information about the proposed development, such as architectural plans, site plans, environmental impact assessments, and other supporting documents. It outlines the intended land-use, design, and construction details, as well as any potential impacts on the surrounding area, including traffic, noise, and environmental considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the process differ if a private certifier is involved rather than the council?
No, it doesn't. The same standards apply regardless of whether the application is determined by a private certifier or a council.
What are the benefits of hiring a private certifier?
Hiring a private certifier offers several benefits, such as faster turnaround times, personalized service, flexibility in project management, expert advice, and a streamlined certification process.
How long does the CDC Process take?
Most development is affected by the requirements of Notify Neighbouring Properties.
This consists of a 14 day pre-approval notification period, as well as a 7 day post approval, pre commencement period.
It is important to use this period to the best of your ability to get the relevant documentation and information in order with your certifier.
