In Victoria, planning permits are required for various types of works and are heavily dependent on the zoning of a particular property as well as the size and scope of a proposal. Our team of experts specializes in town planning legislation and will be able to advise on the best measures to take when developing a brief and whether any project will require planning approval from council.
The short answer is no. We offer reduced services for the smaller, simpler jobs. Our interiors, tendering, and contract admin services are offered optional.
A planning permit is an approval from the relevant municipality that a particular proposal meets planning legislation and zoning requirements. It does not give permission for construction to commence. A building permit is required for any form of construction to take place. The town planning process assesses a proposal based on local and state planning policies whereas the building permit process assesses construction documentation based on building regulations and relevant construction codes.
