Section 735A outstanding notices

A Section 735A Outstanding Notices Certificate lists any outstanding notices and orders issued by Council for a particular property.

The certificate refers to notices and orders issued only under the Local Government Act 1993. For example, notices and orders issued might include:

• unauthorised building works
• stormwater works
• keeping of animals
• inadequate operation of an on-site sewage management system
• noxious weeds
• unsafe or unhealthy conditions.

A full search for notices and orders includes Section 735A, but could also include notices, orders and directions issued under the legislation:

• Roads Act 1993
• Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997
• Public Health Act 2010
• Food Act 2003
• Swimming Pools Act 1992.

You can apply for a Section 735A Outstanding Notices Certificate at any time. The most common time you would need a certificate is before property settlement.

The certificate informs a new property purchaser on matters, including whether:

• Council has issued a notice advising that an outstanding matter or work needs addressing in relation to that property
• Council has issued an order advising that certain work or action is required in relation to that property
• there are any other outstanding matters that Council requires to be addressed in relation to that property.
