Forms Library

Guide to filling in and submitting forms on our website: If you are using Internet Explorer as your web browser, forms will automatically open as a PDF. For other browsers, such as Google Chrome, some forms may not be displayed or submitted until they are downloaded and opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader. For best results our forms should be downloaded first and saved to your computer. Do not fill out the form that appears in the internet window. Once downloaded, forms can be edited with the Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader. The latest version of this can be download here. Please note: The blue ‘submit” button on many of our forms does NOT physically send the form. Clicking this button opens up a new email with the form attached and the correct email address pre-filled. You still need to send the email in the usual way. Council's email and postal addresses can be found at the bottom of all of our forms and will assist in submitting forms for those without a "submit" button.

Apply for an Outstanding Notices and Orders Certificate

An Outstanding Notices and Orders Certificate lists any outstanding notices and orders issued by Council in relation to a particular property. Notices issued might include unauthorised building works, stormwater works or unsafe or unhealthy conditions.

Council has previously offered two certificates, a 121ZP Certificate for notices and orders issued under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and a 735A Certificate for notices and orders issued under the Local Government Act 1993.

Following amendments to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act in December 2019, information from the 121ZP Certificate and information from the 735A Certificate will now be provided on one single certificate.  There is now no need to apply for two separate certificates and the new certificate will supply information on outstanding orders or notices under both the Local Government Act and the Environmental and Planning Assessment Act.

Annual Fire Safety Certificates

The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment has advised that a new template form for annual fire safety certificates & statements is now available. The form must be used from Monday 1 March 2021. Access the form and guidance material on the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s website.
