Towns we build in across Queanbeyan-Palerang
Our office at 21 Whyalla Street, Fyshwick sits right on the ACT side of the Queanbeyan border, so most of this area is a short drive away.

How approvals work in Queanbeyan-Palerang
The Queanbeyan-Palerang area is in NSW, so NSW planning and building rules apply, not the ACT ones. Here's the usual path, and we handle each step.
Check if it's exempt
Some small sheds, carports and minor work are exempt development and need no approval at all, as long as they stay within the size and setback limits.
CDC or DA
Work that meets the NSW standards can get a complying development certificate from Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council or a registered certifier. Everything else needs a development application to Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, lodged through the NSW Planning Portal.
Construction certificate
After a DA is approved, a construction certificate confirms the detailed plans meet the building code before work starts.
BASIX and insurance
New homes and some alterations need a BASIX certificate, and residential work over $20,000 needs home building compensation cover.
Inspections and sign-off
The certifier inspects the work at set stages, then issues an occupation certificate after the final inspection.
