Principal Certifying Authority

Obtaining a construction certificate

Once development consent is granted, the applicant may be required to apply for and receive a construction certificate before works or the use can commence. The consent will state whether a construction certificate is required.

A construction certificate can be obtained either from Council or an accredited certifier (Principal Certifying Authority (PCA)). Please complete the form here (PDF 762.7KB)  and email to development@forbes.nsw.gov.au.
