Staff of My Building Certifier (MBC) are Registered with Fair Trading to issue complying development certificates in New South Wales
Complying development is development that meets predetermined standards contained within the relevant State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP). Typically, development is certified under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, which contains the Housing Code, Low Rise Housing Diversity Code and the Industrial and Business Alterations / Buildings Codes to name a few.
Complying Development Certificates can be issued for a variety of developments including new houses, dual occupancies and manor houses, secondary dwellings, alterations to existing dwelling houses and residential accommodation, commercial and industrial buildings, swimming pools, carports, garages, demolition of buildings/structures and changes of building use.
If a complying development application meets all the standards, a complying development certificate can be issued instead of a development consent and construction certificate. The costs and time associated with a complying development certificate are substantially less than those associated with development applications.
Our turnaround times for these types of applications average 21 days. This includes works to dwelling houses and demolition of structures, which will need to be advertised to neighbours for a period of 14 days before MBC can issue a certificate.

The costs and time associated with a complying development certificate are substantially less than those associated with development applications.
Our turnaround times for these types of applications average less than five (5) days. However, recent amendments to the Regulations mean that some applications will need to be advertised to neighbours for a period of 14 days before MBC can issue a certificate.
MBC has developed checklists that address the standards for the NSW Housing Code, the NSW Housing Alterations Code, the NSW Demolition Code, the NSW Commercial and Industrial Code.
These checklists and our application form can be obtained below.
