About Flood Certificate (CDC requirement)

When you’re building in or near a flood-affected area, a Flood Certificate is often a non-negotiable part of your Complying Development Certificate (CDC) application.

This document provides a qualified assessment confirming that both the site and the proposed development meet flood planning controls under the relevant NSW State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP).

It’s a must have for certifiers, developers and builders seeking CDC approval where flood risk is flagged.

Our certificates are issued by qualified professionals and based on the latest council data and flood mapping. They ensure your development proposal meets all required flood planning controls, saving time, reducing uncertainty and helping your CDC application progress without unnecessary hold-ups.

What the certificate includes:

  • A full site-specific flood risk assessment
  • Review of proposed development against CDC flood planning controls
  • Alignment with NSW SEPP and relevant council planning frameworks
  • Issued by qualified engineers familiar with local authority expectations

When do you need a Flood Certificate?

If your site is identified as a flood control lot, or you’re unsure whether it meets the flood-related development standards, this certificate provides clarity and compliance confirmation upfront.

It’s commonly required for:

  • New home builds
  • Dual occupancies
  • Granny flats or secondary dwellings
  • Major alterations or additions under CDC
