Section 73 FAQs

What does Sydney Water do once receiving a Section 73 Application?

Once Sydney Water has received a Section 73 Application investigation takes place to determine the servicing needs of the subdivision or development. If there are any requirements, a response is then prepared by Sydney Water. The Developer is then advised through Sydney Water's Notice of Requirements. Where Sydney Water finds there are no requirements, a Section 73 Certificate is issued to the Developer.

However, where Requirements are defined, Officers of the Urban Development Business manage the Process for meeting those requirements and when these have been met the Section 73 Certificate is issued to the Developer.
