Planning Certificate (149/10.7)

The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 was entirely renumbered and reorganised on 1 March 2018. References to clauses within this Act were changed, including names of some certificates, applications and other services provided by Council.

To find out the zoning of a particular block of land, you can apply to council for a Planning Certificate (previously known as a 149(2) or 149(2)&(5) Certificate).

Apply for a Planning Certificate Part 2 ONLY (Previously 149(2)) 

Apply for a Planning Certificate Part 2 and 5 (Previously s149(2) and (5))

Planning Certificates are not issued on permissive occupancies or leases or licences over crown land. An online e-certificate covers one lot only, multiple lots will require multiple e-certificates.
