- Large garages, carports and sheds
- Swimming pools and fences
- Retaining walls higher than 1m
- Demolitions and removals of existing dwellings/structures.Minor building work, maintenance and alterations to an existing building are generally allowed without council approval (i.e. accepted developments), so long as you are not altering the building’s floorplan, area or height, and the work does not affect the structural components or structure of the building.It is always recommended to check state and council laws before beginning any building work on your property, as proceeding with construction without the required approval can be a costly mistake.

Once you have lodged a development application with your local council in NSW, it can take between 20 and 90 days for them to decide. Our certifiers will cast their eyes over your application to ensure all the relevant information has been provided and mandatory inspections completed so your application can be processed and approved sooner rather than later.
There isn’t necessarily a difference here — a principal certifier can be a private registered certifier or a council. The principal certifier’s role is to monitor work throughout construction and complete mandatory inspections at critical stages of construction.
