Planning Permits

If you are planning to build on your property you may need to acquire a planning permit from your local council before you can obtain a building permit and break ground on construction. This process can be complicated, with a series of procedural steps that can be difficult to navigate without expert help.

Lakeside Building Consultants are the experts you need to make sure your permitting process is as smooth and efficient as possible. We guide you through the essential beginning of your project, so that you can focus on the more exciting parts of planning and building on your property.

Why do you need a planning permit?

A planning permit is required by your local council for any works that are outside the planning scheme of your land zone. Once issued, they grant the legal right for the proposed work to be done on the property, and the local authority will impose conditions that must be met for the building to take place.

Every council – and, indeed, every address – is different to work with, with differing requirements before they will grant you permission to complete your proposed build. This can affect the timeline of your planning permits, which will extend to the processing of the building permits and the construction itself.
