Your Construction Certificate (CC) can be obtained online or from your council and an accredited certifier which should include your detailed building plans/engineering details and specifications. The plans will most likely contain a lot more information than your approved DA plans, to allow your builder to work directly from them. The building must be consistent with them and the development consent. Any plan changes that are inconsistent with the DA plans would need to be assessed as to whether an application to modify the development consent is required (see Modifications and Reviews). In order to obtain the CC you may be required to first provide additional reports and pay refundable bonds or development contributions to the council. These details are covered in the conditions of your development consent.

Our Role as the Principal Certifying Authority (PCA)
Our job is to work with you through the construction process to ensure that your development runs smoothly and is compliant. To make this decision, we inspect the development at various points in the build and ultimately ensures that the building is safe and fit to occupy and in accordance with the development consent and CC.
You should also keep your neighbours informed and report any complaints to the builder and Vast Consulting Group. Keeping a close eye on the work and being sure it is consistent with the development consent and any conditions attached is very important. Orders can be issued by council to stop work and fix any errors. This can cost time and money or even lead to penalties. The EP&A Act specifies enforcement measures that can be applied if a development is not built in accordance with its consent.
