Survey certificate required where proposed building close to lot boundary
21A Survey certificate required where proposed building close to lot boundary
This section applies to development that consists of the erection of a new building (or any alteration of, or addition to, an existing building) if the new building (or altered part, or addition to, an existing building) is proposed to be located less than 3m from any lot boundary.
Development to which this section applies is subject to the condition that a survey certificate must be provided to the principal certifying authority—
before any form work below any ground floor slab is completed, or
if there is to be no such form work—before any concrete is poured for any ground floor slab or for any foundations.
The survey certificate must be prepared by a registered land surveyor and show the location of the new building (or the existing building as altered or added to) relative to the boundaries of the lot concerned.
