Building Permit
Even without a planning permit, you will always need a building permit to complete your project. A building permit generally relates only to the construction aspects of a particular building or development.
A building permit shows that your approved plans and specifications comply with building regulations, allowing building work to commence. This permit can be obtained from a registered private or local council building surveyor, who will advise if either an occupancy permit or a certificate of final inspection is required upon completion of the building work.
A registered building surveyor is authorised to:
- Assess building permit applications for compliance with the Building Act 1993, Building Regulations 2018 and National Construction Code.
- Issue building and occupancy permits, and certificates of final inspection.
- Conduct building inspections at the mandatory notification stages.
give directions to fix for non-compliant building work. - Serve building notices and orders.
