Permission is required by individuals, contractors and companies wanting to conduct works that risk damage to Council assets on roads, footpaths, kerbs and channels, drainage pits or nature strips.
A permit enables us to ensure we can protect the public and the shire’s assets.
Do I need an asset protection permit?
You will need a permit for the following:
- All building works requiring a Building Permit
- Demolition/removal of a structure
- Commercial/industrial/retail development
- Landscaping and/or other works posing a risk to public land/assets
- Access to a site via a Council park or reserve
- Use of cranes and scissor lifts on footpaths
Depending on your works you may also require a building permit or planning permit.
Security bond
A security bond is also required for each address. The $1,000 bond covers any potential costs associated with damages to Council's assets and can be paid upon application of the permit.
Please note that fines apply if a permit is not obtained or conditions do not comply with Council's requirements.
