If you are subdividing land in Rhodes, 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 Rhodes 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.
Understanding Section 73 for Rhodes 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.
When Is a Section 73 Application Required in Rhodes?
You typically require Section 73 Subdivision Applications when:
-
Subdividing land or a lot.
-
Constructing a new duplex.
-
Developing a multi-dwelling property.
-
Converting a building to strata titles.
-
Undertaking commercial or industrial projects that increase water demand.
If your development involves changes to plumbing or increased utility load, a Section 73 Application is essential.

How All Spec Supports Rhodes Projects
Section 73 Subdivision Applications is one of the first things that can hold up a build in Rhodes, and one of the most costly to fix once work is underway.

Sorting it at the planning stage gives you a realistic budget and timeline from day one.
