Understanding Section 73 for Leichhardt Subdivisions
A Section 73 Compliance Certificate confirms that a developer has made the necessary arrangements with Sydney Water for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure.
It verifies that:
-
Adequate water supply is available for the lot.
-
Sewerage infrastructure meets the demand of the new development.
-
Developer charges and environmental levies are settled.
-
All required physical works have been constructed.
Without a Section 73 Certificate, your subdivision cannot be legally registered.

Local Section 73 Applications That Keeps Leichhardt Projects Moving
Every project in Leichhardt is a little different, and the approval side is rarely the same twice. Existing infrastructure, servicing, site conditions and the requirements of Sydney Water and council all shape what needs to happen and when. Our role is to work through Section 73 subdivision applications with you early, so the requirements are understood before the design is locked in. That means fewer surprises, fewer reworks and a much smoother run through approval for your Leichhardt project.
Good Section 73 subdivision applications is about more than paperwork. We look at the whole picture of your Leichhardt project, from the technical detail to the approval conditions, and give you advice you can act on. That early input regularly saves developers time and money by avoiding reworks and keeping the project on schedule.
What Section 73 Applications Involves
We start by reviewing your project and site details, then work out exactly what is required for approval in Leichhardt. From there we manage the Section 73 and Sydney Water coordination, prepare and lodge what is needed, and keep things moving with Sydney Water and council. You walk away with a clear pathway and a written understanding of the steps ahead, so nothing about the approval side of your Leichhardt project is left to chance.
