The purpose of this certificate is to receive assurance from your Council that your building complies with all relevant legislation and standards.

A building is a temporary or permanent structure (not including manufactured homes, moveable dwellings or associated structures). This certificate may apply to a part of or the whole of a structure.

If your application is granted, the Council will be prevented from ordering work to be conducted for a period of seven years. Work the Council is unable to require that you perform includes alterations, demolition, additions and rebuilding.
