WA Building Energy has a very useful guide: Typical approval sequence

All applications need a certificate (CDC) from a registered building surveyor.

A Class 1 dwelling, or Class 10 building work (shed, carport, patio, pool etc), can be either a BA1 certified application, or a BA2 uncertified application.

A BA2 application - the CDC is provided by the Shire building services. 

All Class 2-9 building applications must be a certified (BA1 application form) and must be certified by a registered building surveyor contractor, prior to submitting a BA1 Certified Application.

ALL permit holders are required to submit a BA7 Notice of Completion form to the shire within 7 days of completion of the works.

Swimming Pools also require a Pool Barrier Certificate with the BA7; we can provide as a part of our service, or the builder can provide the certificate. Please refer to our Swimming Pools page.

Commercial development (Class 2-9) requires an Occupancy Permit application (BA13), prior to occupation and use of the relevant works.

Occupancy Permits (OP) can also be applied for, for a change of use to a Class 2-9 building, or to replace an existing OP.

A Building Approval Certificate (BAC) is for Class 1 or 10 buildings for a change of use, or unlawful works.
