Frequently asked questions
We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help
you answer some of the more common ones.
What are dwelling approvals?
Dwelling approvals are official permissions provided by local authorities to construct, modify, or occupy a residential building. These permits ensure that the proposed work is in compliance with the building rules and regulations or confirm the safety, habitability, and legality of the dwelling.
What happens if I build without approval?
If you build structures on your property without approval, you may face legal fines, penalties, and orders to stop your construction work or demolish the unauthorised work. Also, the property may have reduced value, so obtaining insurance or selling the property can be difficult for you.
What is the difference between a building permit and a development approval?
A building permit authorises the actual construction work and ensures the work complies with the building codes and safety standards. On the other hand, a development approval is related to the broader planning aspects of a building project and ensures the project complies with the zoning laws, environmental regulations, and land use policies.
Can I make changes to the approved building plans?
Some minor changes may be permissible; however, major changes usually require a new building approval.
How long does it take to get building approval?
The period for attaining a building approval depends on the construction project complexity and approval process efficiency.
