Before embarking on building, renovating, tree removal/lopping or any other works, it is important to ascertain whether you require a permit.
Planning permits and building permits serve different purposes.
A planning permit is required to ensure that your project complies with the relevant zoning and overlay controls applicable to your property and to ensure that your project considers its impact on the surrounding area with respect to character, built form and materials, surrounding neighbours, traffic, environmental impacts and community need.
A building permit focuses on the technical aspects of construction and safety ensuring that your project complies with the relevant building codes and regulations.
Links to the relevant controls are:
Here are some common projects that need approval - contact us even if your project is not listed here:

You may need permits for connecting to infrastructure, protection of public assets and more. Often you will find out which permits you need throughout the process, so it is always best to discuss your plans with us or industry professionals.
