You will find information in this section to help you in understanding the different functions and requirements of our Planning and Building teams.  It is important to remember that there are differences between the two areas of Council and you should contact us about your proposal to ensure the correct process and permits are completed.

Planning permits are usually required before you undertake any change of land use or development.

Building permits generally relate only to the actual construction plans of a building or development.
