Building Inspections

Councils must undertake inspections in accordance with the inspection related Practice Directions under the Act.

On completing an inspection, a record of that inspection must be accurately recorded within the Inspections dashboard against the applicable inspection record. This is critical to ensure that follow-up inspections take place as required, and the council’s inspection records are maintained and upheld.

When the council decides a building rectification is required to address inspection identified breaches, issues or faults, an email or letter is sent to the builder/owner builder who submitted the ‘original’ building notification. On rectification of  the breaches, issues or faults, the builder/owner builder submits a response to the council’s building rectification notification. Upon receipt of the email notification, the council will determine if an inspection of the rectifications is required or not.
