Council Approvals Made Easier
WE TAKE CARE OF THE PAPERWORK, SO YOU DONT HAVE TO
Planning a new pergola, patio, alfresco or deck? Depending on your property and proposed design, council approval or building certification may be required before construction can begin.
At Pergola Land, our experienced in-house compliance team manages the approval process for you. From preparing plans and coordinating documentation to lodging applications with councils and private certifiers, we take care of the details so you don’t have to.
With over 25 years of experience building outdoor structures across Sydney, we understand local planning requirements and can help you navigate the approval process with confidence.
One experienced team, managing your project from design and approvals through to construction.
Every property is different, and not all outdoor structures require council approval. Our compliance team reviews your proposed project against relevant NSW planning requirements to determine the appropriate approval pathway. Your project may qualify as exempt development, require a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), or need a Development Application (DA) through your local council. We'll explain what's required for your property before moving forward.
Once the approval requirements are established, our draftsman prepares the detailed plans needed for your application. We also coordinate supporting documentation where required, including structural engineering, surveys, bushfire assessments and other relevant reports. Our team brings everything together to ensure your application is properly prepared for submission.
With your plans finalised and approved, our team prepares and lodges the application with your local council or an appointed private certifier. We manage communication throughout the assessment process, respond to requests for additional information and keep you informed as your application progresses. Approval timeframes vary depending on the application type, property requirements and assessing authority.
For projects approved through a Development Application, a Construction Certificate is generally required before building work can begin. Our team coordinates the necessary certification and supporting documentation to ensure the required approvals are in place. Once the relevant approvals and pre-construction requirements have been satisfied, we can move forward with scheduling your new outdoor living project.
