Once subdivision works have been finished and you have received practical completion from Council, you can apply for a Subdivision Certificate.
Please note, you cannot submit this application until all work is done, and all conditions in your development consent and approved Subdivision Construction Certificate have been met.
You must also include any other details or documents required by your development consent, listed under 'Prior to issue of subdivision certificate'.
All applications for Subdivision Certificates must be made online via the NSW Planning Portal. Hard copy applications will no longer be accepted.
The button below will take you to the NSW Planning Portal to submit an application.
You will be asked to log in or create an account to get started.
For help using the NSW Planning Portal, please see the Support Hub.
Once approved, Council will sign and return your plan of subdivision, deposited plan administration sheet and 88b instrument (if applicable) with the subdivision certificate. This does not create the proposed lot/s; you will then need to register the subdivision with NSW Land Registry Services.
