Section 73 Subdivision Applications

Specialists in Section 73 Compliance Certificates

If you are subdividing land in NSW, a Section 73 Compliance Certificate is mandatory before your subdivision can be registered.

At All Spec Approvals, we manage the entire Section 73 application process for builders, developers and property owners across Sydney. We ensure your documentation is compliant, accurate, and aligned with Sydney Water servicing requirements so your subdivision can proceed without unnecessary delays.

We simplify the process and protect your development timeline.

What Is a Section 73
Certificate?

A Section 73 Certificate confirms that your subdivision complies with Sydney Water’s requirements for water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure.

It verifies that:
  • Adequate servicing is available to each lot
  • Infrastructure requirements have been satisfied
  • Developer works obligations are addressed
  • All Sydney Water conditions have been met

Without a Section 73 Certificate, your subdivision cannot be legally registered.

When Is a Section 73 Application Required?

You typically need a Section 73 Certificate when:
  • Subdividing residential land
  • Creating new lots
  • Developing multi-dwelling projects
  • Altering existing lot boundaries
  • Undertaking developments requiring infrastructure servicing compliance

If your development consent includes Sydney Water servicing conditions, a Section 73 application is required.

Common Reasons Section 73 Applications Are Delayed

Delays often occur due to:

Incomplete engineering documentation

Hydraulic plan
inconsistencies

Unclear servicing
strategies

Missing supporting
reports

Failure to address developer work

Our role is to identify and resolve these issues before submission.

By aligning engineering documentation and infrastructure requirements early, we reduce the risk of rejection and resubmission.
