Asset Protection Permit

An Asset Protection Permit is valid for 2 years from the date of issue. You can extend your permit in 1-year increments at the cost of $155 a year.

Once works have been completed, it is the permit-holder’s responsibility to notify Council within 28 days as per the Asset Protection Permit conditions. This will prompt Council to undertake the final inspection to determine if any reinstatement works are required prior to releasing the refundable security deposit.

If you just poured concrete for a vehicle crossing, please notify Council as your final inspection for Asset Protection cannot take place until 1 month after the pour. The inspection is done at this time because it takes 1 month for the concrete to have reached almost 100% of its full strength and to allow time for any defects to be shown.

Please Refer to the Asset Protection Final Inspection Checklist before booking your final inspection: Asset Protection Final Inspection Checklist(DOCX, 43KB)

If there is no damage and the inspection is signed off as satisfactory, your refundable security deposit will be returned. If any damage is noted, you will be sent a letter so you can arrange for any reinstatement works.

The refundable security deposit will be paid as an electronic bank transfer into the bank account of the Permit Security Deposit Payee.

Request Final Inspection

Where a staged Asset Protection Permit is in place, please ensure a Post Demolition inspection is booked on completion of the demolition stage of works or Post Construction inspection is booked upon completion of the building works.

It is the permit-holder’s responsibility to notify Council within 28 days of the completion of works as per the Asset Protection Permit conditions. This will ensure any damage occurred to Council assets during the different stages can be directed to the relevant Permit holder upon the Final Inspection outcome.

Please note, should Council attend the site 3 times or more to inspect reinstatement, you may incur an additional inspection fee of $130.

The permit-holder is responsible for any damage caused by works and the damage must be reinstated to Council’s satisfaction. There is a choice of repairing Council’s assets or asking Council to complete repair works at your expense.

If the permit-holder requests that Council carry out this reinstatement on their behalf, they must notify Council. The cost of repair will be deducted from the security deposit, with any remaining security deposit refunded. If the works cost more than the security deposit held, an invoice for these works will be issued.

If you decide to independently reinstate damages, please notify Council after rectification so a re-inspection can be arranged.

If the property is located on an arterial road, you will require a permit and Memorandum of Authorisation (MOA) supplied by the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) before proceeding with reinstatement works, and a Traffic Management plan from a prequalified contractor and consultant.
