The Building Act 2016 establishes a risk-based framework for undertaking building, plumbing, and demolition work in Tasmania. All work must comply with the Building Regulations 2016, the National Construction Code (NCC), and any applicable Determinations issued by Tasmania’s Director of Building Control.
Please note, separate planning approval may be required under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. For assistance in determining which approvals (Planning, Plumbing or Building) are required for your project, please contact the Council on (03) 6264 0300 or submit an enquiry through PlanBuild Tasmania.
A Private Building Surveyor can help you determine the category of building work for your project in accordance with the Director’s Determination.
