The City is keen to reduce paper waste and processes and encourages building permit applications to be submitted on a USB and with a hard copy of the application form. This is especially important when a large amount of documents make up the application.
The City is also currently developing an electronic lodgement process for building permit applications to assist the process and transition to electronic processing and the reduction of paper based applications.
The City of Nedlands Building Services team is responsible for ensuring all building works undertaken in The City comply with relevant regulations and policies.
Under the Building Act 2011, a Building Permit is required before the commencement of most building work.
The City’s Building Services team offers a range of services relating to building approvals and anyone who needs to obtain approval for proposed or existing work can make use of these.
The range of services offered includes approvals for proposed and unauthorised building work, inspections, verge and demolition permits and the issuing of occupancy certificates.
