Building Report and Consent

Report and Consent is the process of seeking approval from Council to proceed with construction works that may affect community assets, infrastructure, or neighbours amenity.

Building site amenity compliance

Once any works have begun on-site, including any earthworks or site cut, the building site and asset protection provisions of the Community Local Law No. 1 2019 must be adhered to on-site at all times.

Demolition

Demolition works are complex and there are many things to take into consideration. Depending on your project you may need to obtain report and consent as well as apply for a building permit to demolish. Find out more here
