Council
Approval
Council approval
is required when new building is to be erected, building modification
or building extension is to be carried out, or when change of use of a
building or interior space is involved. The council approval
process usually involves the three stages of planning approval,
building approval and occupation approval.
Each stage of planning approval, building approval and occupation
approval requires different form of documentation to be submitted with
the application. Planning approval application (DA application)
can only be submitted to Council, unless the proposed development falls
within the category of exempt and complying development. Building
approval application (CC application) can be submitted to Council or
private certifier, depending on the choice of the project owner.
Occupation approval application has to be submitted to the same
authority as the Building Approval stage.
Planning Approval
- Development Application (DA)
The planning approval
is an approval for the nature, size and configuration of a development
(including building, interior space, or external works). To apply
for planning approval, a DA application needs to be submitted to
Council. When planning approval, or DA approval, is granted, it
indicates that the proposed development (eg. creation of a new
building, or building alteration, or building extension, or external
works or a particular proposed use) is approved and can be
created. However, the building work for such development cannot
be started yet until a building approval is also obtained.
Building approval nowadays is granted in the form of a construction
certificate.
Building Approval
- Building Application / Construction Certificate (CC)
The building approval
is an approval for the structural design, engineering design, building
system, construction method, and construction details of an approved
development. To apply for building approval, a building
application (nowadays also called CC application) needs to be submitted
to authority (Council or private certifier). When building
approval is granted, ie. when a construction certificate is issued, it
indicates that the building works is approved and can be started.
The building work of the approved development will then need to be
carried out in accordance with the approved drawings, specification and
other documentation attached to the construction certificate.
Occupation
Approval - Occupation Certificate Application (OC)
When the building work
of an approved development is completed, an occupation approval needs to be
obtained before the
new building can be occupied. The occupation approval is an
approval for the completed construction and it signifies that the new
building or interior space is fit and safe for occupation. To
apply for occupation approval, an occupation certificate application
needs to be submitted to authority (Council or private
certifier). When occupation approval is granted, ie. when an
occupation certificate is issued, it indicates that the building or
interior space can be occupied. The occupation certificate
application requires demonstration that all planning approval
conditions, ie. DA approval conditions, have been met; all building
approval conditions, ie. CC conditions, have been met; and that all
required inspection has been carried out by required parties, eg.
engineer and/or authorities. This is done normally with
submission of engineer's certificates and contractors' certificates.
