Do I Need Council Approval for a Home Extension?

Yes. In most cases, home extensions require both:

  • ✅ Development (Planning) Approval – ensures the extension complies with zoning, boundary setbacks, open space, and residential design codes

  • ✅ Building Approval – ensures the structure is safe and meets the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Building Act 2011

You will likely require additional documentation such as:

  • 📄 Certified Structural Drawings

  • 📄 Energy Efficiency Reports (6-star rating)

  • 📄 Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessments (if in a bushfire-prone area)

  • 📄 Sewer infrastructure approval (if building near boundaries)
