COMPLYING DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATES

Complying development is minor, low impact development which may be single dwelling houses, alterations and additions, shop refurbishments, swimming pools, carports, garages, pergolas, fences, retaining walls, cabanas etc. There are sets of rules for each type of building work, issued by the Council, which governs whether complying development is appropriate for your development. We will tell you whether you can do complying development as we have all the Council rules and policies. If you can’t we will need to lodge a development approval for you.
