Retrospective Approvals

Approvals for unauthorised building works or unapproved structures in Perth

These inspections aim to evaluate existing constructions that have not received the necessary permits or approvals before the work was initiated.

The primary objective is to assess whether the unauthorised structures such as patios, sheds, carports, extensions meet current building codes and safety standards. Inspectors evaluate various aspects, including structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety measures.

The findings from these inspections can inform the decision-making on whats required to be undertaken to grant retrospective approval.

What is a Retrospective Approval?

Why Do I Need a Retrospective Approval?

If you've completed building work, altered the use of a building or land without obtaining the necessary approvals, or purchased a property with unauthorised structures, you may still have the option to legalise these. This process is called retrospective approval and ensures compliance with local regulations.
