I’m planning to build, develop or
subdivide – do I need a Sydney Water Section 73 Certificate? How do I get a Section 73 Certificate? There are four steps to getting a Sydney Water Section 73 Certificate: Step 2 – Receive Notice of Requirements Step 3 – Pay charges and build works
Your first step is to complete and send the Application Form along with:
If you plan an unsubdivided dual occupancy, you should consider requirements for future subdivision – this can avoid additional costs such as moving newly laid services.
Step 2 – Receive notice of requirements You will receive Notice of Requirements. You will receive a Notice of Requirements specifying what you need to do to obtain your certificate. The notice will be based on an assesment of your proposal and its impact on Sydney Water’s systems and will specify:
If works are required, an agreement covering the works will be included. You must sign this agreement and return both copies to Sydney Water. If you apply before receiving council consent, you will receive a ‘Letter Pending Development’, identifying what to do if council approves your application.
Step 3 – Pay charges and build works Charges may include:
If works need to be built: You must engage a Sydney Water accredited contractor to carry out the works at your cost. Once works are completed satisfactorily, they are taken over as part of the Sydney Water system. If works affect adjacent properties, your accredited contractor should negotiate access. You may need to pay compensation and/or look at ways to minimise impact. Allow considerable time for this process.
Step 4 – Receive Section 73 Certificate Once all requirements have been met, Sydney Water will send you a Section 73 Certificate. You can then provide a copy of this to council. This information (and Section 73 Application Form) is also available for download.
