Find out about planning approval and building permit requirements for commercial and industrial projects, including what to submit and how the assessment process works.

 

Step 1: Determine if you require Development (Planning) Approval

All Class 2-9 buildings require Development (Planning) Approval prior to submitting a Building Permit application. 

Certified building permit applications must be submitted complete with all prior approvals issued (including planning approval). 

Find out how to apply for planning approval.

Step 2: Apply for a building permit

To apply for a commercial building permit, you must submit a Certified (BA1) Building Permit Application. This must be lodged together with a BA3 Certificate of Design Compliance, which is completed and signed by a registered private building surveyor.

Download, complete and submit the following as one application:

• Certified Building Permit Application (BA1 form)
• Certificate of Design Compliance (BA3 form) (including all referenced documents)
• Planning approval number (if planning approval is required)
• Environmental Health approval if you are installing a sewage effluent system
• Stormwater drainage plan certified by a practising Civil Engineer or Hydraulic Consultant
• Application fee*

Refer to Building Permit Fee and Calculator. 

Step 3: Assessment

Building permit applications either certified or uncertified are usually assessed and approved within 10 business days.

Building permits are sent to the builder via post.

Step 4: Submit a Notice of Completion

Under the Building Act 2011, the builder must notify the Shire that the work is completed by submitting a BA7 Notice of Completion Form.
