Landscape Plan
Amendments

Amendment Approval

Owners can often change their mind during construction on how they propose to finalise their landscaping, this is a reasonable request, however the change may require approval from the consent authority before works can commence.

New Design Assessment

A detailed assessment will need to be carried out on the new proposed design prior to an approval being issued. Where council were the consent authority you will need to contact them directly to discuss changes with them and obtain a modified development consent (DA) before lodging an amended Construction Certificate (CC) to the Private the certifier. If the original application was approved under Complying Development (CDC) the private certifier can assess application and if compliant issue an approval.

Amendment Considerations

Before making any changes to your design, you must take into consideration any conditions that may be imposed whether it be by Council or the Estate Developer Approval.

All design changes must be documented via way of an amended landscape plan and show the following:

Show the area of landscaping components and types of plants being changed (species, mature heights, Planting locations, lawns areas etc)
If the original landscape plan was prepared by an Arborist, Landscape Architect, Horticulturalist or the like, the amended plan will also need to be prepared by a person with similar qualifications and accompanied with the appropriate certification (where applicable).
All reference numbers, dates and amendments are to be noted on the amended plans to distinguish from the previous landscape plans (if amendments have been made by the owner this also needs to be noted on the plan ie: Revision B, Dated 23/3/2022, Drawn by John Smith (Owner)

Application Submission

An application form, evidence of payment of the assessment fee and the updated landscape plan must be submitted to [email protected] prior to assessment being carried out.

Consideration of any application to change a Landscape Plan will require 3-5 full working days from the date that the email was received.

Approval of the amended design is subject to full assessment.

Please contact us as [email protected] for any further information or fee structure.

Hear From Our Clients

Building a house and moving in is quite daunting but when you deal with people as lovely and informative as Louie from NHCG it all seems so much easier! Louie came through the property explaining what he was looking for and why, explained what will be expected and how to go about it and all with such a lovely nature! He even told me I’d done a good job with the flecking in our epoxy floor. Thank you so much Louie for your info today, it was really appreciated! And you NHCP for getting a certifier out so quickly and replying so promptly to all my queries.

Beck Sutho

I had a difficult site to built. I found them very upfront and efficient service Mr Luke Young, Miss Shikha Uprety and all the team members direct you the right way and provide first class service. Yes, they will tell you if anything is not up to Australian standards. My house was looked after in every stage and every detected fault corrected. I support this great Aussie business. If you ask, will I hire them again? Answer is yes.

Harindar Dhillon

Had an overall great customer experience with NHCG especially with Amanda and Nadene.

The team was always happy to help and explained all the requirements and processes involved and delivered on expected timeframes as promised.

Very reasonably priced when compared to others.

Would highly recommend New Home Certification Group for anyone that wants peace of mind for their application.

As a builder, we have had experience working with multiple private certifiers, and have found our experience working with Craig Tibbey and NHCG worlds beyond other service providers. In our industry getting prompt, clear and dependable feedback is critical for keeping our projects moving and maintaining the highest quality. When we engage Craig for a new build, we need his input at regular intervals. He is extremely responsive when we need site inspections, quick to turn around responses regarding technical aspects of the job and gives clear, detailed feedback that we can action to ensure the best outcome.

NHCG were efficient and easy to with. Amanda was of great assistance guiding me through the process for getting the CSC for our home demolition. As the homeowner I found this to be an easy exercise (a couple of phone calls and emails) and substantially cheaper (thousands of dollars) than having my builder do it.
