Council Permits

Registered and Approved Roofing Specialists

The law in Western Australia stipulates that roof replacement works in metropolitan and regional areas cannot proceed until a building permit has been applied for and approved. If you do not have an approved project, approved workers and all necessary permits, you are unnecessarily risking legal penalties. This is particularly important if you are planning on selling your home in the future as any unapproved building projects may cause legal complications. Fortunately, the laws are relatively simple and The Roof & Wall Doctor is happy to assist with Council permits and approval issues.

 

What You Need

Make sure you have considered all of the following before getting started.

  • All metropolitan area roof replacement require building permits and Council approval.
  • All jobs in excess of $20,000 (inc GST) must be carried out by a Registered Building Company.
  • As a Registered Builder (No. 13172) we are required by law to take out an insurance policy to cover the client against default by the builder for the 6 years following completion.
  • Applications to Council for projects over $20,000 (inc GST) will not be accepted without the appropriate insurance.

How We Can Help
