Understanding Complying Development Certificates

Complying development is a fast-track approval pathway for straightforward development proposals that comply with specific standards and requirements set out in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes). Complying development certificates are issued by either a local council or an accredited certifier and provide assurance that the proposed development meets all relevant planning, building, and environmental regulations. Complying development certificates are typically issued for a range of low-impact, residential, commercial, and industrial developments, including renovations, alterations, additions, and new construction projects.

Our Approach to Complying Development Certificates

At Urban City Group, we offer comprehensive support and expert guidance throughout the complying development certification process. Our approach includes:


  1. Assessment of Eligibility: We conduct an initial assessment to determine whether your proposed development meets the eligibility criteria for complying development under the relevant codes and regulations. This assessment considers factors such as zoning, land size, setbacks, building height, floor area, and environmental constraints.
  2. Documentation Preparation: We assist you in preparing the necessary documentation, including architectural plans, site surveys, engineering drawings, and compliance declarations, to support your complying development application. Our team ensures that all documentation meets the requirements of the relevant complying development codes and standards.
  3. Certification Application: We submit the complying development application to the local council or accredited certifier on your behalf and liaise with regulatory authorities throughout the assessment process. Our team responds to any inquiries or requests for additional information promptly and efficiently to expedite the certification process.
  4. Compliance Assurance: We provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure that your development project complies with all relevant standards, regulations, and conditions. Our team conducts periodic inspections, monitors construction progress, and addresses any compliance issues or non-conformities to ensure a smooth and successful certification process.
  5. Certificate Issuance: Once all requirements have been met, we facilitate the issuance of the complying development certificate from the regulatory authority or certifying body. This certificate provides assurance that the proposed development meets all relevant standards and regulations and can proceed without the need for a separate planning approval process.
