If you have a development consent, you need a Construction Certificate before you can start building work.
Building works cannot commence until a valid Construction Certificate has been issued for the proposed building works and a principal certifier (PC) is appointed nor can you obtain an occupation certificate at the completion of building work, without one.
A Construction Certificate can be obtained from either the City of Parramatta Council or a private accredited certifier.
A Construction Certificate verifies that the detailed construction plans and specifications of the development are consistent with the development consent and complies with the Building Code of Australia.
Before issue, all required contributions and fees must be paid and all development consent conditions must be satisfied:
Lodge a construction certificate application
Your proposal and application will be assessed to ensure that the proposed works are compliant with the requirements of the development consent and satisfy the requirements of the Building Code of Australia.
Appoint a principal certifier (PC)
Appoint a PCwho will monitor the building works as they progress to ensure compliance with the approved construction certificate. The PC can be Council or a private accredited building certifier.
Find an accredited certifier from the Building Professionals Board.
If you decide to use Council as the PC, please use the form link below. The Building Professionals Act 2005 (NSW) says Council must not carry out certification work for a person, such as issuing construction certificates to undertake building work, unless it has entered into a written contract with that person.
