Exempt Development
Exempt Development
Some minor building renovations or works
don’t need any planning or building approval. This is called exempt
development. Exempt development is very low impact development that can
be done for certain residential, commercial and industrial properties. A
few examples of development that can be exempt development are: decks,
garden sheds, carports, fences, repairing a window or painting a house.
As long as the proposed works meet all of the development standards
(identified in the State Policy for exempt and complying development),
approval may not be needed.
