Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a partial demolition?
Yes, if the part being removed is structurally connected to the main building or affects safety or compliance, a permit is usually required.
What about internal demolition?
Internal non-structural demolition may not need a permit, but it’s best to check. If in doubt, we can confirm what’s exempt.
Can I demolish without notifying council?
In most cases, no. Councils often require notice for demolitions that affect streetscape, overlays, or neighbouring properties.
Will I need a planning permit too?
Possibly. Especially if the building is in a heritage or special use zone. We can help identify whether one is needed.
