What the Application for Planning Certificate Under Section 10.7 is for
A planning certificate under section 10.7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW), formerly called a section 149 certificate, is issued by the local council and sets out the planning controls that apply to a parcel of land. A section 10.7(2) certificate shows the zoning, the state, regional and local planning controls, and constraints such as land contamination, flooding and bush fire prone land. A section 10.7(2) and (5) certificate adds advice from other authorities and other information the council holds about the land. Upper Lachlan Shire Council's form orders a 10.7(2) certificate or a 10.7(2) and (5) certificate with annexure, both sent by email. This link is the 2025/2026 edition; the council's forms page now has a 2026/2027 edition with the same layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a 10.7(2) and a 10.7(2) and (5) planning certificate?
A 10.7(2) certificate gives the prescribed planning information: zoning, the planning controls that apply, and constraints such as contamination, flooding and bush fire prone land. A 10.7(2) and (5) certificate includes all of that plus advice from other authorities and other information the council holds about the land.
Do I need a planning certificate to sell a property in NSW?
Yes. The NSW Government's selling guide says the contract for sale must contain a current section 10.7 zoning certificate issued by the local council, along with the title documents and a drainage diagram. The guide also says the contract must be prepared before the property is advertised for sale, so order the certificate early.
