Council Approval for Demolition
What’s required before demolition starts
Council approval is not needed for demolition anymore. AC Demolition helps clients understand what still needs to be organised before works can begin, including safety, asbestos requirements and utility abolishments.
What Still Needs To Be Organised
Even without council approval, your site still needs to be prepared correctly. This typically includes safety planning, asbestos identification/removal where applicable, and arranging utility abolishments/disconnections.
How We Help
We advise on what applies to your site during your free inspection, coordinate asbestos requirements where needed, and guide (or manage) utility abolishments with the relevant service providers so your demolition can proceed smoothly.
