Do private certifiers offer the same service for commercial property ?

    Hi All,

    I have dealt with private certifiers on residential approvals before but I am wondering does it work similar with Commercial also?
    I have a unit I want to rent a room out with a different use and wanted to ask their opinion on the best way to go about it rather than going straight to council?

    Thanks heaps

    Yes they do. You may have other hoops to jump through if you want a non-conforming use which will require council to approve as zoning is not outsourced only building approval.

    Thanks Scott,The council gave me a DA form to apply for the different usage .

    So yr saying a certifier couldn't do much to help in this case?
