Building

Anyone proposing to do building, remodelling work, extensions or renovating should contact Council's Building Team. This is applicable if you are doing it yourself or employing the services of a licensed builder.

You can save yourself time and money when you build or renovate, by comparing our fees and approval times to other certification services.

Council's service brings together and draws on an extensive knowledge of Queensland's building and plumbing legislation, and town planning and engineering experience, which assists in delivering a totally independent and thorough assessment of your building project.

Our helpful staff are happy to provide general advice on the current requirements for all types of building work to ensure your asset is protected and complies with local and state laws.
