| Building File Information Request | A building file search fee is payable on application and covers the cost of the search and delivery of the first 12 pages of the requested documents, (if located). Additional fees are applicable for further pages and any document larger than A3 in size. No guarantee is given to the quality of the copies provided.
Documentation is generally available for building permit records less than 25 years old but the likelihood of locating older permits is greatly reduced. Council does not hold all building records, particularly for the original construction of dwellings by the Ministry of Housing, Department of Health and Human Services and like State Government entities.
Due to the complexity of the searches required, applications may take up to 10 business days to be processed. |
