Development Consent - Coffs Harbour City Council - New South Wales

Description

If you intend to build or renovate a property, you may need Development Consent from the relevant authority.

If your development is approved under a Development Application, you will need a Construction Certificate before starting your development work. Once the work is complete, the council will inspect the development to ensure it has met the agreed guidelines and issue an Occupation Certificate.

It is recommended that you contact your council for a pre-lodgement discussion to determine whether your development plans require Development Consent. Some developments are classified as Complying Development, which means they follow a faster approval process and do not require development consent.
