Prior to the demolition permit issuing, as the owner, you are required to arrange for the abolishment of services to the property prior to demolition works commencing.

ELECTRICITY – request through your electricity provider the abolishment of the electricity meter at the property.
Note: It is important that the service is abolished not just disconnected.

These permits may need to be obtained from local Council, depending on the size of the tree, and if it is located in a vegetation protection overlay.
You should contact the council in relation to asset protection permits, and, if required, please obtain and forward to our office. This permit will cover not only demolition works but also the building of your new property. Should you require an asset protection permit, demolition cannot commence until the permit has been issued.
To comply with council law and to ensure public safety, it is the client’s responsibility to supply and erect temporary fencing to secure not only your site but the neighbouring site. By council law this fence is required to be erected prior to works and remain in place until building works have been completed. We recommend a company called Temporary Fence Hire.
