You will need this permit if you intend to carry out building work. A permit is generally required before starting construction, demolition, or structural alteration work.
The permit allows building work to proceed in accordance with approved plans and specifications and helps ensure appropriate documentation is prepared, inspections are carried out at key stages and the completed building is suitable for occupation or use.
A building permit will specify if an occupancy permit or a certificate of final inspection is required on completion of the building work.
