Subdivision Certification
We specialise in Torrens and Strata subdivision certification, providing seamless approvals for residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Our expertise ensures that your subdivision project meets all NSW planning and compliance requirements, minimising risks and delays.
Complying Development Certificates (CDC)
Our CDC approvals allow for faster and more efficient subdivision projects, including SEPP Low Rise Housing Diversity developments and strata conversions. We handle all necessary documentation to fast-track approvals and avoid bottlenecks in the certification process.
Subdivision Works Certificates
For projects requiring infrastructure construction compliance, our Subdivision Works Certificates ensure that your road, drainage, sewer, and utility installations meet regulatory standards. We help you secure approval before construction begins, keeping your project on track.
Infrastructure Compliance Certification
Our team works with developers and local councils to certify major infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with state regulations while delivering efficient approvals for roads, drainage, water, and electrical infrastructure.
TESTIMONIALS
We will definantly be using them on all our projects going forward.
My wife and I are based on the NSW South Coast and have used CEH Consulting for surveying work. Unlike some of the other local surveyors we approached, Matthew provided a quote for the work quickly and the quote was really fair and reasonable.
Once we accepted the quote, the team was on-site shortly after and the surveying was completed a lot faster than we expected. The surveying team were very polite and courteous, and easy to deal with.
The surveying plans/documents produced were spot on, with no issues. When I had to drop off the signed documents to the CEH office (while wrangling a very grumpy two-year old!), the reception staff were wonderful and really helpful, even getting the door for us on the way out.
Throughout the entire process, Matthew and the team were responsive in their communication and very efficient. With Matthew's experience in the industry, he was able to guide us along the way, which was greatly appreciated given our inexperience.
Overall, for anyone undertaking a subdivision/development and seeking quality service, we could not recommend CEH Consulting more highly. Thank you for a hassle-free experience

What are the biggest mistakes developers make in land development certification?
The biggest mistake is starting the certification process too late. Developers often wait until the final stages of their project, only to realise that crucial approvals were needed earlier. This leads to costly delays, unexpected expenses, and last-minute scrambling to meet compliance requirements.
How has the certification process changed over the past few years?
Land certification has shifted away from council-controlled approvals, giving developers more flexibility. Private certifiers now handle many approvals, reducing red tape and shortening wait times.
Future Outlook: The industry will continue moving toward digital processes and streamlined assessments, making it easier for developers who stay informed
What causes certification delays, and how can they be avoided?
The most common cause of delays is appointing a certifier too late. Missing documentation, incomplete applications, and misunderstandings about regulations can also stall approvals.
How to avoid delays:
- Engage a certifier at the DA approval stage.
- Ensure all required documents are submitted upfront.
What’s the difference between Torrens Title and Strata Subdivision?
Torrens Title is used for standalone properties where each lot has direct land ownership. Strata Subdivision is for multi-dwelling developments with shared spaces, such as apartments or townhouses.
When to choose which:
- Torrens Title: Best for projects with separate land ownership.
Strata Subdivision: Ideal for developments with shared structures.
What compliance tips can save developers time and money?
Securing Section 73 or 307 certificates early is crucial to avoid last-minute hold-ups. Also, working with an experienced certifier prevents costly mistakes.
Time and cost-saving strategies:
- Apply for necessary certificates early.
- Double-check zoning and infrastructure requirements.
- Partner with a knowledgeable certifier to avoid compliance errors.
What challenges do regional developers face compared to metro developers?
Regional developers often deal with limited infrastructure, unpredictable council approvals, and labour shortages. In contrast, metro developers face higher costs and stricter zoning laws.
How to navigate regional challenges:
- Plan for service limitations like water and sewer connections.
- Work with experienced certifiers familiar with regional requirements.
