If you feel that your private certifier or council has failed to comply with or violated the Act, Regulations or the Code of Practice then you may lodge a complaint with the Minister for Urban Development, Planning and the City of Adelaide.
A complaint must:
- be in writing
- contain particulars of the allegations on which the complaint is based
- be verified by statutory declaration, which means that the statement of claim must be witnessed by a Justice of the Peace.
