Section 88G Certificate

What is an 88G Certificate?

This is a certificate issued under Section 88G of the Conveyancing Act 1919 in which advice is given by Council as to whether any amount is payable to Council because of a failure to comply with a positive covenant imposed on the title of a property in which Council is named as the authority benefited by that positive covenant. Also advice is furnished as to whether any works have been carried out by Council under terms of such a positive covenant, the cost of which may be recovered by Council from the proprietor of the property.

What is the cost for an 88G Certificate?

As at 1 January 2007 the fee for an application of Section 88G Certificate will be $10.00 and Council will not inspect the relevant land for the purpose of issuing the certificate.

How can I apply for an 88G Certificate?

Applications can be made online via Council’s Online Services Portal and will need to be accompanied by a copy of the 88B instrument and current fee.

Select the Certificates menu and the New Certificate. Follow the steps and you will need to attach an electronic copy of the 88B instrument on the Certificate Details Page
