Non-building applications and permits

Different projects require different permits. You need separate permits for building over a drain and sharing fencing costs, for example.

If there's an easement or Council drain on your property, and you plan to build over or near either of these, you'll need our permission.

You're responsible for your drains up to their legal point of discharge. Learn more.

Some situations will require you to complete a stormwater drainage plan application.

Nature strips are the public land between the footpath and the kerb on residential streets. Find out about nature strip permits and maintenance.
