A statement of compliance enables a council to ensure compliance with any agreements and conditions placed on any planning permit relating to public works and open space provision.
Before the issue of a statement of compliance, a licensed land surveyor will be required to complete a form setting out that all structures exist as shown on the plan.
A statement of compliance cannot be issued before a plan is certified and it must be obtained before a plan can be registered with Land Victoria.
