Unauthorised building works - Home improvements such as extensions, sheds, workshops, studios or patios when built without council approval are generally considered as unauthorised building works.
Retrospective Council Approval or retrospective building permit – Council approval for such unauthorised building works are often referred to as retrospective council approval.
Why you might need it – One reason can be unauthorised structures on your property may pose challenges to sale of the property either by deterring potential buyers or reducing the property value as buyers may see it as an encumbrance.
How we can assist – Obtaining a retrospective approval might be a time consuming process where the retrospective applications must comply with the NCC (National Construction Codes), council’s local planning policies and the Residential Design Codes. We can assist by not only preparing relevant documentation for the unauthorized structures but also organize relevant professionals if needed and liaising with the council on client’s behalf.
We resolved such a case for elderly homeowners in one of Perth’s southern suburbs, by preparing appropriate documentation for existing unauthorised structures as part of retrospective submission to the local council, thereby assisting the client to gain retrospective council approval for the structures. The consequent appreciation of the overall property value was highly regarded by the client as they planned to sell the property and downsize for a more relaxed retired life.
