Depending on the type and scale of your intended project, you may need to lodge a Development Application (DA) with your local council/body and have it approved before you can start making any changes to your home. Failure to submit the right paperwork may see you at odds with various conditions, regulations and by-laws; in short, at odds with the law. Small renovations and repairs like painting the outside of your home or replacing the roof may also require council/local body permits.
Your local council/body will be able to advise you about what sort of measures you should be taking and the regulations that may apply to your home and project.
