Application for Asset Protection Permit

An Asset Protection Permit is required for any work on your property that requires a building permit.

The permit holder is liable for the repair costs for any damage to footpaths, kerbs, roads, vehicle crossings, nature strips and/or street trees.

The Permit is valid for 24 months from date of issue.

Application Process

Contact your private building surveyor and confirm that the Section 30 has been lodged with Council.  A permit will not be issued if a Section 30 has not been lodged with Council.

Once a Section 30 has been received, an Application for Asset Protection Permit is automatically sent to the Building Permit applicant/property owner by Council.  Once the application is lodged with Council and the non-refundable fees paid in full, a site inspection will be arranged.
