Certifiers, council and building disputes in Schofields NSW
Schofields sits in the City of Blacktown. A principal certifier issues your construction certificate and occupation certificate, and their inspections exist so those certificates can issue rather than to give you a defect list. Your protection is the statutory warranty regime under the Home Building Act 1989. On attached housing there is a party most owners forget: the body corporate, which holds responsibility for common property and is the correct addressee for a defect that turns out not to sit inside your lot.

The City of Blacktown is the consent authority for Schofields.
For a Schofields townhouse or home, the construction and occupation certificates are both issued by a principal certifier.
Certifier inspections serve the certificates rather than the owner.
Statutory warranty under the Home Building Act lasts six years where a defect is major and two years where it is not.
On attached housing the body corporate holds common property, which changes who you address.
