Section 10.7 Certificates (previously known as Section 149 Certificates), also recognised as zoning certificates, are legal documents issued by NSW Council’s under the provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. They contain information about how a property may be used and restrictions on development that may apply.
A section 10.7 (2) and section 10.7 (5) planning certificate can be ordered separately or as a combined certificate. For conveyancing purposes, a section 10.7 (2) is required as a minimum.
A section 10.7 (5) certificate provides both the information available in a Section 10.7 (2) and additional matters such as dwelling permissibility, burials on private land and information on applicability of the Council’s Management of Contaminated Land Policy if applicable.
