Planning and Building - what’s the difference?
Planning and building rules have different roles:
- Planning controls - guide how land can be used and developed
- Building regulations - ensure the safety and structural standards of buildings.
You may need one or more permits or approvals if you plan to:
- develop or subdivide land
- build or renovate
- start or expand a business.
