Planning approvals and building approvals are different and are controlled by different legislation.
A planning approval ensures that the development of a property within the City complies with the Local Planning Scheme, Residential Design Codes and other relevant legislation and policies.
A building approval ensures that the proposed building work complies with the Building Codes of Australia and other relevant standards and legislation.
