Building Permit fees
The minimum fee payable with a Building Permit application is now $110.00.
Fees required for the issue of a Building Permit are as per Part 6 of the Building Regulations 2012.
Building Permit fees are calculated at a value of 0.32% of the estimated construction cost as determined by the local government for residential work and outbuildings, and 0.2% of the estimated construction cost for commercial and industrial work.
On behalf of the Construction Training Fund (CTF), the Shire collects a levy calculated at 0.2% of the construction cost (including GST) of a development which is then forwarded to the CTF Board for funding ongoing industry training. This levy is only payable when the works approved exceeds $20,000.
Fees for permits (building, occupancy, building approval certificates and demolition) for projects valued at $45,000 or less cost $61.65.
If the value of the work is over $45,000 the levy will be calculated at 0.137%.
