Building Projects
Before erecting, altering, extending, changing the use or demolishing a building we recommend that you speak to our Development Services staff. The building project you are considering may require planning, building, demolition or plumbing approvals.
Our Development Services team can assist you regarding the required approvals for your building project. We have provided some information sheets and application forms below.
