Building Our Building Services team issue building permits, consider variations to Building Regulations, conduct inspections and provide advice on swimming pool and spa safety barriers.
Tree regulations Most vegetation in Nillumbik generally requires Council approval to be removed or pruned. We encourage you to seek Council advice before you proceed with removing vegetation in the Shire.
Swimming pools and spas To ensure safety, all pools and spas must be registered with Council, and the safety barriers must then be inspected. Find out what's required if you have a swimming pool or spa.
Septic tank systems on unsewered properties There are certain requirements for installing and managing septic tank systems on residential properties.
Infrastructure (roads, drains and paths) If you are working in the road reserve (footpath, vehicle crossover, drainage, work over an easement) check with Council first to determine which permits are required.
