Service areas

Where we certify

We work across the greater Newcastle region and beyond. Each area has its own constraints — bushfire, flood, heritage, mine subsidence — and knowing them before you lodge is what keeps an approval moving.

Area guides

What actually shapes an approval in each council area, and the suburbs we cover.

Newcastle

Independent certification across the City of Newcastle — from the inner-city terraces to the coastal suburbs and the western flood plain. One registered certifier from first enquiry to Occupation Certificate.

24 suburbs covered

Lake Macquarie

City of Lake Macquarie

Independent certification across the City of Lake Macquarie — the lake foreshore, the bush interface and the coastal strip. One registered certifier from first enquiry to Occupation Certificate.

26 suburbs covered

Central Coast

Central Coast Council

Independent certification across the Central Coast Council area — from Gosford and Terrigal to Wyong, The Entrance and the lakes. One registered certifier from first enquiry to Occupation Certificate.

26 suburbs covered

Maitland

Maitland City Council

Independent certification across Maitland City — one of the fastest-growing residential markets in the Hunter, and one where flood planning decides more approvals than anything else.

22 suburbs covered

Port Stephens

22 suburbs covered

Everywhere else

Detailed guides for the remaining areas are on the way. In the meantime we work across Greater Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, Port Stephens, Hunter Region, Central Coast and Sydney. Projects on the Mid North Coast and across greater NSW are undertaken subject to quote. Send us the site address and we will confirm coverage and quote.
