In Perth, a building permit is generally required before any building work can be carried out.
This includes the construction, renovation, alteration, or improvement of a building.
The proposed building work may require a permit if it could affect the structural soundness of the building or incidental structure, the safety and health of the occupants or other users of the building, or the way in which the building or incidental structure complies with each building standard.
There are two types of building permit applications: Building Permit Certified (BA1) and Building Permit Uncertified (BA2)
The type of application will depend on the building’s classification.
· Building Permit Certified (BA1): This must be used for commercial buildings (Class 2-9) and it is an optional application type for residential dwellings and incidental structures (Class 1 and 10).
A certified building permit application must be accompanied by a certificate of design compliance which is signed by a registered building surveyor.
Once the application is lodged, there is a legislated processing time of ten business days.
· Building Permit Uncertified (BA2): This is only for residential dwellings and incidental structures.
Once the application is lodged, there is a legislated processing time of twenty-five business days.
There is no need to engage the additional services of a building surveyor.
As part of the uncertified building approval process, a Building Surveyor, employed by the City of Perth, will conduct the technical assessment and issue the Certificate of Design Compliance and the building permit.
It’s important to note that even if a building permit is not required for certain types of work (such as the repair or maintenance of buildings and structures), the building owner has an obligation to ensure the exempted work complies with the applicable building standards.
For more specific information, you can download the application for on the City of Perth Website.
