Building Code Australia (BCA) and Building Permit Requirements

Where applicable, your home business will need to comply with separate building legislation requirements. For example, a residential dwelling is defined as a Class 1a building whereas an office (Class 5) is a separate use and therefore has different classifications and requirements.

Within the BCA minor use changes (where up to 10% of the floor area of a different classification is proposed) do not require a separate approval, providing that no structural alterations are to be undertaken. Where structural alterations are proposed a Building Permit is required as structural works are not defined as exempt works under the Building Act and Building Regulations.

If the proposed works are more than 10% of the dwelling floor area then BCA compliance will be required, which could include substantial works and costs. Please consult with a registered Building Surveyor at an early stage of the project to establish separate building code specific requirements applicable to your project.

For any further information please contact the City’s Building Certification team on (08) 9792 7000 for more information.
