Building and Planning

Planning permits and building permits

Planning permits and building permits are different and are controlled by different laws and regulations. Depending on the type of use or development, you may need one or both of these permits.

Planning permits

A planning permit may be required to use land, develop land, or both
The need for a planning permit is determined by the City of Greater Bendigo Planning Scheme and the zoning and overlays which apply to your property
If a planning permit is required, it must be approved before a building permit can be issued

Building permits

Are required for building and other associated works such as a structure, fence or retaining wall
The building permit process ensures buildings are structurally safe and that the works comply with state building regulations
Project works are independently inspected by private building surveyors at key stages however, consent may also need to be obtained from the City's Building unit
