Council's Building Certifiers

Council's Building Certification team can simplify the development process and eliminate the need to engage additional consultancies and certifiers. This can save you time and money. 

We are a one-stop-shop service for:

  • residential and commercial building companies
  • home builders and renovators.

Our clients gain a huge advantage because our staff work in a local government environment, and have intimate knowledge of building regulations, construction standards and development consent requirements. Other benefits of using Council as your certifier include:

  • Flexible services, for example inspections can be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, within 24 hours of the initial booking.
  • Direct access to Council's records and approval history.
  • Professional staff who can provide timely advice and assistance on the certification process.

Services include

  • assessment of Construction, Occupation and Complying Development Certificates
  • inspection of building works (Principal Certifying Authority services)
  • act as the Certifying Authority (PCA) where Council has not issued the construction certificate
  • building consultancy and advice on the Building Code of Australia (BCA)
  • fire safety compliance advice and inspections
  • swimming pool and fencing requirements compliance advice and inspections
  • assistance with those difficult jobs and problematic sites

  • the ability to fast track and negotiate dealings with other Council departments.
