Q?
I have my architectural plans drawn for a development application. Do I need an engineering report before submitting my plans to council?
-
A.
No, you can generally submit a development application without engineering details however; you may be asked for details during the assessment process ie. if an easement affects the development. Sometimes a client will want engineering details prior to submitting a DA to know that their proposal can actually be built (or is affordable) before going through an expensive approvals process. On other occasions the DA procedure may require amendments to the plans which in turn will affect the engineering report. If you are unsure, make an appointment to see our staff who can help advise you with this decision.

Q?
Do I need a development application and an engineering report for a retaining wall less than 1 metre high?
-
A.
This depends on a raft of local council requirements which may make it an exempt development. Contact your local council for these conditions and if in doubt it is best to have engineering involvement.
