What the Section 735A Certificate Application (Outstanding Notices and Orders) is for
The file published at this link is Lithgow City Council's application for a certificate under section 735A of the Local Government Act 1993, headed "Outstanding Notice/Orders". A 735A certificate tells you whether the council has outstanding notices or orders under that Act affecting a property. It is separate from a section 10.7 planning certificate, which the council says must be attached to every contract for the sale of real estate, and from a section 603 rates certificate.
When you need it
- You are buying property in the Lithgow area and want to know whether council has issued notices or orders that remain outstanding.
- You are a conveyancer completing pre-settlement searches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 735A certificate?
A certificate under section 735A of the Local Government Act 1993 showing whether there are outstanding notices or orders under that Act on a property. Lithgow's form calls it a certificate of outstanding notices and orders.
Is a 735A certificate the same as a 10.7 planning certificate?
No. The 10.7 certificate is the planning (zoning) certificate under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 that must be attached to a contract for sale. A 735A certificate is an extra search about council notices and orders.
