Demolishing, removal and relocating buildings
If you are looking to demolish, remove or relocate a structure within, to or from your property, you should determine whether this project will require a planning approval. Contact Council and ask to speak with the Development Assessment and Engineering team before lodging any applications.
A removal dwelling is a structure that can be moved from one property to another or moved to another location on the same property within Scenic Rim Regional Council. A building permit for a removal/demolition has a currency period of 12 months after which time the application will lapse.
Building approval for removal/relocating a structure
If bringing a structure into the Scenic Rim region, you will be required to submit an application for a Preliminary Removal.
If the structure is coming from another Council area, you may be required to seek approval from that local government agency to remove the structure.
Removal bond payment
Once the preliminary removal application has been assessed and approved, a removal bond will be set and payable before further approvals can be issued.
Building approval for demolition of a structure
If you are demolishing a structure on your property, you are required to submit a building application. Please contact a licensed building certifier.
Other permits/approvals that you will need
You will be required to submit additional applications such as:
- Building application (contact a licensed building certifier);
- Plumbing application;
- Road bond and permit to move on roads.
