Planning Certificates

Officially called a section 10.7 certificate (Previously known as section 149), which will provide you with information the City of Parramatta has on file about planning controls or other property issues that affect a particular piece of land. 

There are 2 types of section 10.7 certificates available from the City. 

  • A section 10.7(2) certificate shows the zoning of the property, its relevant state, regional and local planning controls and other property issues such as land contamination and road widening. Please note: the certificate is based on the parent property only, not on individual lot numbers.
  • A section 10.7(2) and 10.7(5) certificate provides the same information but also includes advice from other authorities. While the certificate will state all the relevant planning instruments that apply to the property, it does not specify particular development standards or terms of the instruments. If you propose to develop the property, we recommend undertaking thorough research into all of the planning instruments which apply to the land. 

Cost

Under section 10.7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the City must issue these certificates upon application.
