Building Approvals Illawarra NSW
Most building work is subjected to regulations, so it is essential to know when building approval is needed. Our fully accredited certifiers based in Wollongong will be able to determine whether building approval will be required for your construction project.
Buildcert can offer our local knowledge to ensure that your proposed development is built in accordance with the relevant building regulations. We aim to provide a simplified approach to building approvals so you will not have to deal with unnecessary bureaucracy and complete your construction project faster.
Complying Development Certificate Approval in the Illawarra Region
For some types of building work, owners are not required to submit a full development application to the local council.
A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a combined planning and construction approval for developments which comply with pre-determined development standards set under State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPP). This process allows a fast-track assessment by a certifying authority, which may be either Council or an Accredited Certifier.
Under Australian Building Standards, you may be able to utilise a Complying Development Certificate for the following work:
If you would like us to undertake a CDC Pre-Assessment of your plans to determine whether Complying Development approval is possible (i.e. Council DA is not required), please fill out the form provided at https://buildcert.com.au/services/cdc-pre-assessment/
