WHAT YOU CAN ASK ABOUT

FOUR AREAS WE HELP WITH

Building approval

Building work in Brisbane needs building approval, assessed by a licensed building certifier or by Brisbane City Council. It checks your plans against the National Construction Code and Queensland building rules.

National Construction Code

The national code that sets minimum requirements for buildings. NCC 2022 applies in Queensland today, and NCC 2025 starts there on 1 May 2027. Volume Two covers houses, Volume One apartments and larger buildings.

Brisbane City Plan 2014

The planning scheme sets what you can build and where, using zones, overlays and codes such as the Dwelling house code, and decides when a development application is needed.

The permit process

Whether you need development approval, building approval or both, which drawings to submit and in what order things happen.
