Process of building in the Shire of Mundaring

The process of building in the Shire of Mundaring, Western Australia, typically involves the following steps:

  1. Development application: Before any building works can commence, a development application must be submitted to the Shire. This application should include plans and details of the proposed building works, as well as any other relevant information including a BAL Report, Certificate and a Bushfire Management Statement (BMS).
  2. Assessment: The Shire will assess the development application to ensure it complies with the relevant planning policies, building codes, and other regulations. This assessment may involve consultation with other authorities and stakeholders including Environmental Asset Inspection (EAI).
  3. Approval: If the development application meets all the necessary requirements, it will be approved, and after your modification of your APZ and the issue of a BAL-29 or less BAL Report a building permit will be issued. This permit must be obtained before any building works can commence.
  4. Construction: Once the building permit has been issued, construction works can commence. The building works must be carried out in accordance with the approved plans and any other conditions specified in the building permit.
  5. Inspections: The Shire will conduct inspections at various stages of the construction works to ensure compliance with building codes and regulations.
  6. Completion: Once the building works are completed, a final inspection will be conducted to ensure the building is safe and complies with all relevant regulations. Once the final inspection is passed, an occupancy permit or a certificate of completion will be issued.

It is important to note that the specific requirements and processes for building in the Shire of Mundaring may vary depending on the nature and scope of the proposed building works.
