A Building Permit must be granted prior to starting any building works unless the work is exempt under Part 18 and Schedule 8 of the Building Regulations 2006.
The Borough of Queenscliffe does not offer a building permit and inspection service, so you should contact a private building surveyor for advice prior to undertaking any building works. However, if you are in a designated flood prone area, your building surveyor will apply to council's Municipal Building Surveyor for consent, who will usually specify a floor level for the development.
For details on a property in relation to building permits issued, notices and orders, designated flood areas, inspections and reports, please fill in a "Property Inquiry Information Form". The application form can be downloaded here.
