Building Permits

Here you will find application forms, checklists and information sheets you will need if you are commencing any residential or business or industrial development.

Building permits are required by law before any works to be undertaken to your property or surrounds.

A building permit is required to carry out most works including new buildings, alterations, additions, verandahs, outbuildings including garages, carports, sheds, swimming pools and fences.
