Congratulations - You Have an Approval…
What happens next?
After receiving consent for your development project, you may feel like the hard part is over—but if your site is based in NSW, the journey isn’t quite finished yet. One of the key components in ensuring your project moves forward smoothly is completing the necessary post-consent documentation.
This crucial step ensures that your project complies with all required regulations and gets the appropriate approvals at each stage. In NSW you cannot commence building without the appropriate certificate.
At Council Approval Group, we guide you through the necessary post-consent documentation for your project. This service is available to all NSW projects, regardless if you have used Council Approval Group for your development approval.

Documentation Requirements?
If you’re feeling confused and not sure what Post Consent Documentation you need, here are some helpful explanations:
A Construction Certificate is required before any physical work on your site can commence. It verifies that the plans and specifications comply with the approved development consent and building codes. This certificate confirms that your design is safe, structurally sound, and legally compliant. Obtaining this certificate is a key step before you break ground.
If you’re planning to divide land into separate parcels for sale or development, a Subdivision Certificate is required. This certificate ensures that the subdivision meets all local zoning and planning regulations and that the infrastructure (such as roads, water, and drainage) is in place and complies with relevant standards. It confirms that the land is ready for individual title transfer, ensuring your subdivision project is legally and practically viable.
Before proceeding with the construction of any subdivision, a Subdivision Works Certificate may be needed to ensure that the necessary infrastructure works, such as roads, stormwater systems, and utilities, have been completed to the required standards.
This certificate ensures that all subdivision-related construction work is in compliance with safety, engineering, and planning requirements, providing assurance that the project is on track.

We could make up a fantasied timeframe to wow you, but to be straight up the length of getting an approval is dependent on the project development type, the local council, who examines your application within council, location of the property within the local council and on the property itself, and the list goes on. The approval process will no doubt take longer than you expect because we are dealing with administrative red tape.
But what our team has done has studied the 40,000+ properties we have been involved in and analysed the 300+ flight years of team council approval experience to create a formidable system.
