Building
A building licence is required prior to commencing construction for most structures larger than 9m2, including pools, patios, sheds, dwellings, group dwellings and commercial buildings.
The building section is also responsible for issuing demolition licences for building demolition or relocation, sign licences, and strata clearances.
All signs including advertising and signs painted on or attached to buildings require a licence prior to installation or placement.
The building section investigates any unauthorised structures and provides advice to the building industry and community regarding building codes, standards, legislation and council policies relating to the built environment.
