Construction Certificates

What is a construction certificate?

From 1 July 2021, development applications and certificates must be lodged through the NSW Planning Portal. These changes have been mandated by the NSW Government and are required by all Local Governments across NSW.
These changes mean Council can no longer accept hardcopy or emailed documents and are unable to place applications on the portal on behalf of developers and the community.  All information you upload to the portal is still seen and assessed by Gunnedah Shire Council.

Who can apply for a Construction Certificate?

The owner of the land is generally required to be the applicant for a Construction Certificate.

In some circumstances, a lessee of the land or building may be the applicant. In this instance we recommend that you talk to
