Building

Council's building officer is responsible for maintenance of existing buildings while the Environmental Health Officer deals with the approval of new building applications. With new subdivisions in Bremer Bay and new housing in Jerramungup for the doctor and police officers, building activity in the Shire has been intense.

Most building activity can only be undertaken with the prior approval of the Council. Assistance with any building related matter and application forms are available from Council Offices upon request. A Building Licence Application Checklist and Council's Building Fees and Charges can be downloaded here.

All crossovers require Council approval before construction is commenced. Information, including standards for concrete, brick-paved and bitumen crossovers and an application form, can be downloaded here.

Owner-Builders can obtain required information, including the necessary Statutory Declaration on the Builders' Registration Board website.
