A Section 73 Certificate is often the step that holds up a Vineyard subdivision, and it is exactly what we take care of. All Spec Approvals manages your Section 73 application from start to finish, coordinating with Sydney Water and making sure everything is in order so your Vineyard project clears this hurdle without unnecessary delay. We know the process inside out.
The Basics of Section 73 in Vineyard
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 Vineyard?
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.
