Home ยป When is a site plan required?
In Australia, a site plan is generally required whenever you submit a development application to your local council. This applies to a wide range of projects, including new buildings, renovations, extensions, swimming pools, and even some landscaping works.
The specific requirements for site plans can vary depending on the council and the nature of your project. However, they typically need to be drawn to scale and include information such as:
The boundaries of your property
The location of any existing buildings and structures
The proposed location of any new buildings or works
Driveways, parking spaces, and access points
Sewerage and drainage lines
easements and setbacks
It's always best to check with your local council to find out their specific requirements for site plans. They may have a website with information for developers, or you can contact them directly.
