Property Information Request PS2 (Non-Residential)

Form PS2 is Logan City Council's paper application for searches on commercial, industrial and other non-residential properties; council also takes these requests online. Alongside the rates and water property search and planning and development certificates under the Planning Act 2016 (s 265), it covers building and plumbing approvals reports, inspection reports priced by gross floor area, certificates of occupancy, commercial building plans and flood data. It also covers certificates of currency and inspection reports for prescribed activities, food businesses, environmentally relevant activities and high risk personal appearance services. The property search draws on council's land record (Local Government Regulation 2012 s 154), and overdue rates and charges are a charge on the land (Local Government Act 2009 s 95), so a buyer needs the figures before settlement.

When you need it

• You are buying a shop, office, factory or other commercial property in Logan and need the rates, water and trade waste position.
• You need a planning and development certificate, including for a major or district shopping centre (price on application).
• You want the building and plumbing approvals report, a compliance inspection report, a certificate of occupancy or commercial building plans.
• You are buying a business and need the currency of its food business, prescribed activity, environmentally relevant activity or personal appearance services licence.
