Certificate of Compliance - Australian Capital Territory

Description

You will need this certificate upon the completion of a structure or development on your land. This certificate shows that you have complied with any building and development provision of your Crown lease. Holding a certificate of compliance allows you to sell your property without having to apply to the Territory Planning Authority for consent to transfer your lease. It does not prevent future action in relation to the development if it is later discovered the work did not comply.

This certificate may be issued even if the structure or development is only partly compliant with the lease agreement. The issue of a partly compliant certificate may be subject to a condition that you provide security in a stated form against failure to complete stated outstanding works.

Service type
