The Basics of Section 73 in St Leonards
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.

Your St Leonards Section 73 Questions
How long does a Section 73 application take?
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of the requirements, but typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks once all information is provided.
Can construction begin without a Section 73 Certificate?
While physical building construction can often start, you cannot register your subdivision or finalise your titles without the final Compliance Certificate.
Do I need engineering plans for a Section 73 application?
Yes, most applications require detailed hydraulic or civil engineering plans to demonstrate how the new lots will connect to existing networks.
Getting Section 73 Subdivision Applications Right for Your St Leonards Project
Every project in St Leonards 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 St Leonards project.
Our advice is grounded in the real requirements that Sydney Water and council apply, not guesswork. We handle the Section 73 and Sydney Water coordination, check for problems early, and explain what each step actually means for your timeline and your budget. For St Leonards projects that clarity is worth a lot.

We deal with the approval process every day, so we can move quickly and steer your St Leonards project around the common traps.
