Perth is a world famous city with a continuously rising land value. It is a great situation for the city, and the economy of the country as a whole, but the consequences are not so good for residents. The rising status of a city means that more people want to live there, higher demand means higher prices, and eventually less space for everyone.
For many people looking to move into the Perth CBD, they deal with smaller lots that are farther away. Even Perth residents face this situation from time to time. There will come a time when a house will notserve the needs of its owner anymore. For example, when a resident couple decides to start a family, they will need to find a bigger house to serve their new needs and move out.
There is another way for Perth residents to improve their living quarters without having to move away from their advantageous position. It is called Demolish and Build, a fresh start that lets residents design a better home for them without having to gamble on a competitive market. But, D&B is a drastic change that requires – paperwork.
There are home building services that give residents the option to D&B their house, but it pays to know what papers such a move requires. The first thing people should need to know is that the process of getting a demolition permit changed recently.
Applicants will need to submit their proposal to the local government. They have a 25-day process period after the initial application to prepare everything they need. Applicants need to complete and submit all the necessary forms and supporting documents in either hard or electronic copies. Local governments will then check if the demolisher went through all the necessary checks on the property to prepare it for demolition. These checks include disconnecting all utility lines that might disrupt the demolition, or threaten the safety of workers and civilians. The people in charge should notify electric, water, gas and telecommunications providers of the demolition beforehand. Demolishers should identify the number and location of septic tanks on sight and confirm if rodent baiting is complete. If the local government sees all the requirements are met and approve the application, demolishers can proceed, and residents can start designing a new house.
