Demolition

Planning

Development Approval for demolition is only required where your property is Heritage listed, either by the Shire or on the State’s Heritage Register.

Check whether you property is heritage listed in our online mapping tool. 

Building

A demolition permit is required for demolition work for a whole building.  It is also required for part of a building or structure when the works are not included as part of a building permit for construction (REF: S.10 of the Building Act 2011). 

There are also Health & Safety requirements to consider, particularly if removing asbestos and decommissioning septic systems. Visit our Public Health and Safety page. 

Some demolition works can only be carried out by a registered demolition contractor.

Refer to Worksafe for further information.

Please use the Schedule of works below, with the application form.
