A little extra…

You can get help from your Building Surveyor to obtain your Owner Builder Permit.

The key steps once you get the permit are:

  • When you get the Owner Builder Permit, your surveyor will issue you with a Certificate of Likely Compliance
  • Next step is to get a Building Permit from your local Council – you need your final plans, OB Permit and Certificate of Likely Compliance
  • Check if you need a Plumbing Permit and Planning Permit from Council
  • Finally, you'll need to provide your Surveyor with a Start Work Notification (refer government link below)
