Subdivision certificate

If the subdivision involves any building or construction works, you must have development consent and a construction certificate before you can begin construction.

A plan of subdivision cannot be registered with NSW Land Registry Services unless it has a subdivision certificate, even if development consent is not required.

Lodgement Requirements

From 1 July 2020, Waverley Council can accept subdivision certificate applications online the via the NSW Planning Portal.

All lodgements via the portal must include Waverley Council’s application forms and documentation requirements (which are listed on the subdivision application form) and be submitted in accordance with the Electronic Lodgement Guidelines, collated and labelled with the correct naming convention. Applications will not be accepted if the digital files are not submitted in accordance with the guidelines.

If your application is lodged via the NSW Planning Portal, Council will review the application and if all information is submitted correctly, will contact you to pay the relevant fee. Council will not begin assessing the application until all the relevant fees are paid.

If you need assistance using the online service, please view the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s How To Guide or contact Service NSW on 1300 305 695 for additional support.
