Section 88E – Ensuring Compliance for Your Development

Navigate Council Requirements with Ease

When finalising a development project, compliance with legal and council requirements can feel overwhelming. One crucial step is the Section 88E instrument, a legal document required to register Positive Covenants and Restrictions on the Use of Land with NSW Land Registry Services.

    Very professional people. I was dealing with Melik, I thought it would be impossible to get the survey plans ready within a week, he assured me it would be ready and before a week it was ready and perfect. I highly recommend c and a Surveyers.

    What an experience. From start to finish. Building and developing can be stressful enough as it is but using a company like C&A definitely can reduce that stress. Can’t speak highly enough of the whole team at C&A.. They were very professional and on time every time and were extremely helpful through the entire process. Special thanks to Celso who was awesome to deal with on site
