51 (2) property certificates are available through our online portal below. You will need to sign into our eServices portal, but you can also register for an account using this link:

Once you have this information, you can then decide to lodge an application for a flood report and consent if required by the building regulations.
Before you lodge your flooding application, please speak to the building surveyor you engaged for a building permit, as exemptions may apply.
You can lodge the following applications online through our Darebin online services.
