Recent BCC Advice for Pools at Rear of Houses in Traditional Building Character Overlay
Brisbane City Council have recently advised that pools at the rear of houses in the Traditional Building Character Overlay inadvertently trigger a town planning application.
Council are reviewing this matter and in the meantime will accept applications for Exemption Certificates and consider a fee waiver.
Unfortunately this will add two to three weeks to the approval process.
