An Occupation Certificate (OC) confirms that your building is safe, compliant and ready to be used.

It’s issued after all required inspections have been completed and the work matches the approved plans.

Without it, a new home cannot legally be occupied.

If you’re unsure whether you’re ready for your OC or what’s still required, we’re here to guide you through the final stage.

Industry Update

The commencement of NCC 2025 in NSW has been pushed back and will now take effect from 1 May 2027.

This additional 12 months will give the construction industry more time to understand and prepare for the changes introduced in the new Code.

While the delay provides more time for preparation, many builders and designers are already working towards these future standards.

If you’re planning a project and want to understand what these changes could mean for your approvals, feel free to reach out.

Natural light, thoughtful design, and quality construction all come together in spaces like this.

Behind every finished home are important approvals and inspections that help ensure the building is safe, compliant, and ready to be lived in.

At Urban Certifying, we work alongside homeowners, builders, and designers throughout the process - from approvals through to final certification.

What is a Development Application (DA)?

A DA is a planning approval assessed by council. It’s typically required when a project doesn’t meet the strict criteria for a fast-tracked CDC.

This might be due to variations in height, setbacks, site constraints, or other local planning controls.

Unlike a CDC, a DA is reviewed by council planners and may involve neighbour notification.

It’s important to remember a DA is planning approval only. You’ll still need a Construction Certificate before building starts.

Not sure which pathway applies to your home project?
We’re here to help you understand the right option from the beginning.

Not all renovations are as simple as they seem.

Even something like a kitchen upgrade can require the right approvals - especially if structural changes, plumbing relocations or external works are involved.

Before you start knocking down walls or moving services, it’s worth checking what’s required.

We’re here to guide you through the process and make it clear and straightforward.
