Zoning and Section 149 Certificates

To find out the zoning of a particular block of land, you can apply to council for a section 149 planning certificate.

Details on zoning for a particular block of land are not available over the phone. However, the council's Administration Centre can advise on the type of development allowed within each zoning category. There is no charge for this service.

What's on a certificate

A section 149 (2) planning certificate will include details of:

  • the names of relevant local environmental plans, regional environmental plans, state environmental planning policies and development control plans
  • the zoning and land uses that are permitted or prohibited within that zone
  • any development that has been declared state significant in relation to the land
  • whether the land is affected by section 38 or 39 of the Coastal Protection Act
  • whether the land is in a mine subsidence district
  • whether the land is affected by any road widening or road realignment proposals
  • whether the land is affected by a policy that restricts development because of the likelihood of land slip, bush fire, flooding, tidal inundation, subsidence, acid sulphate soils, or any other risk
  • whether the land is reserved for acquisition by a public authority
  • the name of each contributions plan applying to the land

A section 149 (5) certificate allows the council to include advice on any matter affecting the land of which it may be aware.
