Incorrectly issued certificates
If a private certifier issues a Complying Development Certificate or Construction Certificate that contravenes the legislation, only a Court can declare the Certificate invalid.
Council does not have the authority to declare a Complying Development Certificate or Construction Certificate issued by a private certifier to be invalid.
An appeal may be lodged for the Court to make an Order to declare a Complying Development Certificate or Construction Certificate invalid in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. If you intend to lodge an appeal, it is recommended that you obtain your own independent legal advice.
