Which council issues the section 10.7 planning certificate for a Schofields property?

Blacktown City Council issues the section 10.7 planning certificate for property in Schofields.

It shows the zoning and matters such as flooding, bush fire and road widening, and the vendor must attach a current certificate to the contract.

Which planning rules apply to land in Schofields?

Schofields is in Blacktown City, but much of the suburb is in growth precincts, such as the Schofields and Alex Avenue precincts, where a State policy sets the zoning.

That policy is the State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts—Central River City) 2021, which applies there in place of the Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015. The planning certificate names each instrument that applies to the property.

Local FAQs for Schofields

What should I check in a Schofields off-the-plan contract?

Sunset and variation clauses need close review. Residential off-the-plan contracts also come with a 10 business day cooling-off period (unless it is shortened or waived with a section 66W certificate) and a disclosure statement, and the vendor can rescind under a sunset clause only after giving you at least 28 days' written notice explaining why, and then only with your written consent or a Supreme Court order under section 66ZS of the Conveyancing Act 1919.

What if a Schofields exchange date is close?

Send the contract and the exchange date so we can confirm the scope of the review and whether we can act in time.

Do estate covenants affect renovations later?

They can, so covenant and design controls should be checked before exchange.
