Planning certificates

What is a Planning Certificate?

Planning certificates are official documents issued under the authority of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. They are mainly used to satisfy the requirements of the Sale of Land Act 1962, under which the vendor of a property is required to provide details of the land zoning, and any overlay controls or exhibited proposed amendments to the planning scheme.
