Building Services
The Development Services building section is primarily engaged in the assessment and approval of building licences. A building licence is required prior to commencing construction for most structures including pools, patios, sheds, dwellings, group dwellings and commercial buildings.
The building section is also responsible for issuing demolition licences, sign licences, and strata clearances. 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.
