Building Information

• Prior to the issuing of a building permit, information is to be obtained from the relevant Council’s Building Department. Eg. is the allotment termite prone, flood prone or situated on a declared road?

Legal Point of Discharge (Stormwater)

• Prior to the issuing of a building permit information from Council’s engineering department is required which identifies the legal point of discharge for the storm water system.

Planning Information

• In some occurrences a Planning Permit may be required to be obtained via the relevant Council prior to the issuing of a building permit. The proposal must comply with the provisions that relate to any applicable Planning schemes, zones, overlays, and the like. If the building works are not pursuant with these planning requirements, a Planning Permit will be necessary. CSI will obtain written confirmation from Council’s Planning Department as to whether your proposal will require a Planning Permit.

This can be ascertained by visiting http://www.land.vic.gov.au.
