How to Apply for a s10.7 Certificate
When you are submitting a Complying Development Certificate you will most likely need a Section 10.7 Certificate. A s10.7 certificate provides information on any controls, requirements and restrictions that may impact how a property is used. A town planner will often require one before looking at your property to let you know what can be done as well. It will take a few days to come back.
There are three ways to apply for one on the Central Coast:
Through a private provider - this can be done for property anywhere in the state. Here is a link to a few provider, it is a bit more expensive than applying though the portal or council: infotrack
Through the NSW planning portal - here is a link to a guide provided by the portal
Through Central Coast Online Services through the steps below:
How to apply through Central Coast Online Services
If you don't have an online services account for Central Coast Online Services Property and Payments Portal, apply for one here. It will take about two days for council to get back to you and then you'll be able to login.
Login to Central Coast Council's Property and Payments Portal here.
Select Apply for a Certificate:
4. Select Flood Level Certificate ($69 - back in a few days)
5. Select Your Property (if you have additional properties you can add them in the next step):
6. Select any additional properties and apply and pay for the certificate.
7. Congratulations! you have successfully applied for the s10.7 certificate, it will take the number of working days displayed by council when you have finished.
This is a prerequisite for most complying development cetificates and most certifiers will require the s10.7 certificate to have been issued within 3 months. You'll often get one from your conveyances as part of their due diligence. Because of that 3 month requirement you may need to apply for another one to submit the CDC.
