Work on Individual Sites

You will generally need Council’s permission for new installations, and alterations or extensions to existing structures if:

• The site is on flood liable land, and the park or estate operator has been informed of this restriction
• The work will be more than one storey high, or the subfloor is 2.1 metres or more above ground level
• The work is different to the standards set out in state regulations.

You must get Council approval before doing any of the following work:

• Enclosing a carport with roller doors, solid screens, sliding doors or walls
• An extension to an existing part of a relocatable home, deck or annexe
• Fences and rigid privacy screens
• Installing rigid adjustable louvres or sliding doors to enclose an existing roofed area
• Demolition and replacement of an existing structure
• Moving an existing structure from one location to another.

Applications made after work has been done will be refused.

You can be fined, made to remove any work that was not pre-approved, or subject to legal action if you don’t follow the rules. You could even put the operator at risk of losing their permission to operate.

Where approval from Council is required, you will need to make an Activity Application online and provide relevant supporting documents. The type and amount of supporting information needed will vary for each case.

Within 7 days of completing the installation of a moveable dwelling, manufactured home or an associated structure, the person undertaking the works must provide a completed Notice of Completion of Installation PDF, 346.5 KB.

In order to assess an application for a Notice of Completion of Installation under the regulation, it must be accompanied by the following information:

• Site number.
• Details of the compliance plate which must be affixed to the moveable dwelling, manufactured home or an associated structure.
• Certification from a professional engineer for structural soundness.
• A fully dimensioned diagram of the dwelling site on which the moveable dwelling, manufactured home or an associated structure has been installed. The diagram must be sufficient to indicate whether the required setback, density, open space and site delineation requirements have been complied with.
• Any additional information required in the approval to install.

Once Council has received the Notice of Installation together with all required supporting information, the Council will assess the application and if compliant, issue a Certificate of Completion. Note that fees apply.

In certain circumstances, it is possible to seek variation to the requirements of the Regulation where you believe compliance with any provision of those regulations is unreasonable or unnecessary in the particular circumstances of the case.

An experienced consultant can assist with the preparation of a justification report under Section 82 of the Local Government Act 1993.
