| Local Law Number Five, relating to the requirement for Asset Protection Permits, was introduced in July 2004 to help protect public assets vested in Council from damage caused during building works and to regulate the presence and disposal of refuse, rubbish and soil on and from building sites within the municipality.
All building works that require a building permit and are in a designated area must have an Asset Protection Permit prior to beginning work. An application fee applies and depending on the nature of hte building works and the presence or absence of assets a bond may also be required.
An inspection of Counci's assets is undertaken before building work begins to assess and record the condition of existing assets. Upon completion of building, a final inspection is undertaken to determine if any damage has been caused during building works.
Providing no damage has been caused, any bond held is then refunded.
Asset Protection Permits co-incide with building permits and remain current for two years for domestic works and three years for commercial works.
