So the out come is still this carport carries more weight and hardly any footings to support it and it could collapse plus the repairs the owner has done to brick work where all the weight is surely there has to someone that can help me as the neighbouring property as council have been useless. I have spoken to Stratco engineers and the carport is only engineered to hold its own weight additional changes the engineering is not true anymore and the engineer that has provided new report for approval of wall had no idea what was there to start with.
None of the paper work is correct and very poor record keeping on part of council. I know all this because I applied for Freedom of Information. Sadly I have spoken to the engineer after report was done to find out they have not advised him of the fact it’s should have footings and also that cement and roller door was not part of the approval from 2005. To get approval for bondo wall they have had to have engineering report done on wind. We this thing has very little footings at all. We go to the trouble of installing ag drains to stop their water to find a lack of footings should be minimal of 300×600 that being this close to boundary is an enthronement in it self. So we not only have gutters over fence we now also with all cementing we get all their water in our property. So the additional weight of panel roller door, wall and then cementing over completely inside with new driveway 50mm of boundary fence.

I would like to ask if this is the case in SA. You can search for our designers and consultants using the search feature under the ‘Find a Consultant’ heading on the right hand side of any page. If through reading this you realise your at risk contact a designer or building surveyor and get some advice. This could lead to many more concerns than if you took the time to seek council approval first.Īs you can see there are many important reasons to have all your approvals in place and not risk the chance of ‘getting away with it’. If your property was damaged by fire or flood and it started from that illegal addition / alteration or there was a structural failure damaging property or injuring someone your insurer would have sound reason not to honour the policy. This can cause a lot of heartache and anxiety for you as the current property owner, the purchasers and all involved to see the sale through.Īnother area of concern is that of insurance. If it was illegal then, without approvals, the regulations of 20 years ago don’t apply. This is all fine at the time, however if you choose to sell the property and council records are checked through the settlement process and they don’t match, all the works must be brought up to today’s standards. Many projects have been completed without council approval, such as lower floor conversions to a granny flat or unit, decks, sheds, carports, and internal modifications. Our advice however, is if in doubt accept first that council approval is required then seek advice from your local council, building surveyor or designer. There may be State legislation exemptions, size of the project, value or simply the nature. In short the answer is Yes, for any alterations or additions to your building or property.Īs with most things there are always exceptions. Consumer Building and Occupational Services – CBOS.
