I’m planning to build, develop or
subdivide – do I need a Sydney Water Section 73 Certificate? What is a Section 73 certificate? A Section 73 certificate is Sydney Water’s confirmation that you have:
How does this relate to my Development Application? Your local council requires a Development Application unless your proposal is classed as exempt. Most developments affect Sydney Water’s water and/or sewer systems and therefore require you to obtain a Section 73 Certificate. You will need to obtain your certificate where it is a condition of consent, along with meeting all other conditions of consent before you receive final council approval to occupy the building or register your subdivision at the Land Titles Office.
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.
