Legal Issues - Enforcement

Do you have a parcel of land that has been in use for the last 10 years without permission?

Do you have a building that has been in use for the last 4 years without permission?

Are you facing enforcement action on a well established use?

This is an aspect of planning legislation which allows landowners to regularise an existing use of land, or a building which has not been the subject of a formal planning consent.  It involves the submission to the Council of evidence of use or the period of time which a building has been erected.  If the evidence is conclusive the Council will issue a Certificate of Lawfulness.

We can assist you to compile the necessary evidence and submit the formal application for a Certificate on your behalf.
