Building Applications and Forms

The Shire of Dardanup is a Building Permit Issuing Authority. The Shire ensures all building construction that occurs within the Shire boundaries complies with relevant laws, standards and construction codes.

A building permit is required for most residential, commercial and industrial structures. This includes all new works, alterations, additions and extensions.

There are two types of building permit applications:

• BA1 – Application for building permit – certified: Requires a Certificate of Design Compliance (BA3 Form) to be completed by a Private Building Surveyor prior to being submitted to the Shire
• BA2 – Application for building permit – uncertified: Certified by the Shire.

Note: Under the Building Act 2011 it is required that all applicable approvals, including planning approval, are obtained prior to lodgement of a building permit application.

Application forms are available for download from the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety webpage:
