149 CertificatesLast modified: July 7, 2009 - 12:31 AM
What is a 149 Certificate? A 149 Certificate is a planning certificate under Section 149 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Planning certificates give information on the development potential of a parcel of land including the planning restrictions that apply to the land on the date the certificate is issued. There are 2 types of 149 Planning Certificates, 149/2 and 149/5. What is the difference between a 149/2 Certificate and a 149/5 Certificate? A 149/2 Certificate provides you with information such as the zone, whether the land is affected by any Draft Local Environmental Plans and Development Control Plans, whether the land is affected by Mines Subsidence and Restrictions on development due to natural hazards such as landslip, flooding or bush fire. A 149/2&5 Certificate provides you with all of the above information plus additional information such as easements, unhealthy building land, outstanding health & building notices and other matters which includes any other information Council feels is relevant to the land. Why do I need a 149 Certificate? When land is bought or sold the Conveyancing Act 1919 requires a 149 Planning Certificate to be attached to the contract of sale. It may also help an existing owner to decide about the uses of their land. Is there a fee involved? Yes. A 149/2 Certificate costs $40.00 and a 149/5 Certificate costs $60.00. 149 Certificates must be paid for up front. How do I apply for a 149 Certificate? You need to complete an application form. Your application should accompany a cheque or you can make your payment by cash, at our Administration Centre at Parkes. An application form may be obtained from the link below. How long do they take to process? We usually require 4 working days to process your application. What if my application is urgent? Can I pay an urgency fee? We don't have an urgency processing fee. If your application is urgent we will do our best to get the Certificate to you as soon as possible. Contact details
