Property information statements provide official information held by Council about a property, including building permits, inspections, compliance records, and any relevant notices or orders. These statements are commonly requested during property transactions to help buyers, sellers, and conveyancers understand the building and regulatory history of a property.
There are three types of statements:
Regulation 51(1)
A Regulation 51 statement provides details of:
- any Building Permit, Certificate of Final Inspection or Occupancy Permit issued within the preceding 10 years;
- any statements issued under Regulations 64, 65, 66, 67, 231 or 232 of the Building Regulations; and
- any current notice, order, certificate or statement issued under the Building Act 1993 or Building Regulations relating to the property.
Regulation 51(2)
A Regulation 52 statement provides details about whether the land is:
- liable to flooding (Regulation 153 – Special Building Overlay);
- termite prone (Regulation 150);
- in an area prone to significant snowfalls (Regulation 152);
- designated land or works (Regulation 154 – Land Subject to Inundation Overlay); and
- located in a designated bushfire prone area (Regulation 156).
Regulation 51(3)
A Regulation 53 statement allows an owner, mortgagee, or prescribed building practitioner (under section 137B of the Building Act 1993) to request the relevant council to provide the inspection approval dates for mandatory notification stages relating to building work carried out on the land.
