If you are subdividing land in Newtown, a Section 73 Compliance Certificate from Sydney Water is one of the key approvals you will need, and we handle the whole process for you. At All Spec Approvals we specialise in Section 73 applications for Newtown projects, managing the paperwork, the servicing coordination and the back and forth with Sydney Water so your subdivision keeps moving. We take a process that trips up a lot of developers and make it straightforward.
Section 73 Certificates Explained for Newtown
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.
