You may need a planning permit if you intend to:
- use land or buildings for a purpose different from their current allocated use under the local Council planning scheme (e.g. commercial, residential, industrial, agricultural, etc.)
- add additional uses or buildings to the currents ones
- intensify an existing non-conforming use or discretionary use
- develop land.
Once a planning permit is issued, further approvals may be required. Some of these approvals must be received from the appropriate Agency, while others are provided to you by a qualified Building Surveyor to be submitted to the appropriate Agency.
