Planning & Building Services

Planning Services

Our Planning Services team is responsible for assessing proposals for new development and changes to land use. The aim of this process is to make sure that our Shire grows and changes in a way that is consistent with our community’s vision for the future. This assessment also considers state legislation that provides direction for managing bushfire risk, sewerage disposal, residential building design and a range of other matters.

Building Services

Our Building Services team is responsible for assessing building works to ensure they meet the construction standards of the Building Code of Australia. The aim of this process is to ensure that building works are completed to minimum quality standards and result in the development of safe, healthy and sustainable buildings. We are proud to be able to provide residential building certification and permits in-house as a local service for our community.
