After your building works are complete, you must notify us within 7 days. We will inspect the building site to ensure no damage has occurred to Council assets.
If there is no damage
If the final inspection reveals no damage to Council assets, we will return your security bond within 28 working days.
If there is damage
If the final inspection reveals damage to Council assets, we will:
- have the permit holder repair the damage, in accordance with Council standards and conditions
- repair the damage at the permit holder's expense
If the cost of repair is less than the security bond, Council will refund the remainder to you.
If the cost of repair is more than the security bond, Council will retain your security bond and invoice you for the difference.
