I want to change my Principal Certifier. How do I do this?
I want to change my Principal Certifier. How do I do this?
If you need to change / replace your appointed Principal Certifier, you will need to complete a new application within the Post-consent Certificate digital service on the NSW Planning Portal. This will ensure that the new Principal Certifier has access to the relevant applications.
When doing so, please ensure you select “Yes” to the question “Is this application to track transfer of Principal Certifier?”. Once you submit this new application, the newly nominated Principal Certifier will receive a notification to advise that you wish to appoint them as the Principal Certifier for your building works. If the nomination is accepted, the relevant consent authority will be advised, meeting the requirement under Section 57 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021.
Please view the Quick Reference Guide, How to appoint a Principal Certifier for more information.
