Building Approval

Building approval is required for most developments to ensure building complies with building laws, including the Building Code of Australia. Building approval is usually obtained after we have given development approval. However, there are some exemptions to development approval and/or building approval. Building approval must be sought before construction begins.

For more information visit the Environment and Sustainable Development website.
