Building Permits

To obtain a building permit, an application must be lodged with the City.

Building Regulations

Building applications are assessed against relevant legislation, codes and Australian Standards.

Swimming Pools

Owners and occupiers are responsible for ensuring that there is a compliant swimming pool safety barrier in operation at all times.

Sustainable Design

The City strongly encourages the use of design solutions that will optimise solar access, maximise energy efficiency and conserve water.

Stormwater Drainage Approval

Stormwater drainage approval is required as a building permit condition.

Traffic Impact Assessment

All major development applications are required to be accompanied by a Traffic Impact Assessment that meets all requirements outlined in the associated checklist. 

Waste Management for proposed developments
