Occupancy Permits
Occupancy permits are documents that signify that a building surveyor is satisfied that the completed building work is suitable for occupation.
A building permit will specify whether you require either an occupancy permit or a certificate of final inspection prior to occupation of a building.
Building work for a new home (including units or apartments), or commercial premises will always require an occupancy permit to be issued. Where an occupancy permit is required, it is an offence to occupy a building until the occupancy permit has been granted.

POPE and Temporary Structures
If running an event it is likely you will need either a an Occupancy Permit for Places of Public Entertainment (POPE) or an Occupancy Permit for a Prescribed Temporary Structure (PTS). Depending on the nature of your event and the structures you are using, you may need both types of permits.

Report and Consent
You need to complete the Report and Consent process when work is planned that may affect community assets, infrastructure or the amenity of the area that may be compromised by the proposed building work.
Examples include:

- Projections beyond street alignment
- Building above or below public facilities
- Precautions over street alignment
- Installing or altering a septic tank system

A Building Permit for any such work cannot be issued by your Building Surveyor until the Report and Consent process has been completed.
