Building Act 2011 – Changes to the Building Approvals Process in Western Australia
The new Building Act will commence on 2 April 2012. The new Act will bring major changes to the building approval process in Western Australia. It will repeal the Builders Registration Act and parts of the Local Government Act. The Act will enable both Local Authorities and private registered building surveyors to certify building applications with Local Authorities still issuing permits.
The Shire of Augusta Margaret River Building Services Department will continue to provide a service for people requiring a building surveyor to assess, approve and certify plans. In addition they will provide a range of other building related information and services. Customers may also choose to use the services of a private building surveyor, and then submit a certified application to the Shire as the Permit Authority. Applications will need to have all approvals in place prior to lodging for a permit to build. The Building Commission has all forms and information on their website. Click here forms to view forms.
For further information and assistance on this matter, please contact the Building Services on (08)9780 5214.
