Property owners, buyers and agents needing a written summary of planning controls, development potential and constraints for a site before making decisions.
A written planning certificate of advice for a medium block of 450-800m2. Includes a full Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP) controls analysis, overlay mapping review covering flood, heritage, bushfire and biodiversity, a setback, FSR and height schedule with development potential commentary, and a 4-6 page written certificate.
Flood, heritage, bushfire, biodiversity and any other mapped constraint applying to the site under the LEP and state mapping.
No. It is a written assessment of what the controls would allow in terms of scale and use. Design is separate.
If the site is over 800m2, has multiple constraints, or you are contemplating subdivision or multi-dwelling development, yes.
Lenders' requirements vary. It is a planning certificate, not a valuation, so it usually supports rather than satisfies a finance condition.
Current at issue. Allow around 6 months, less if an LEP amendment is on exhibition.
