Prepare documents for an unauthorised-building-works removal order
Identify the location, work and time frame in a removal order before appointing appropriate building professionals and contractors. Check the demolition scope, any common parts and applicable minor-works procedures for the actual case.
Buildings Department
Prepare for your task
| Task | Information to have ready |
|---|---|
| Order and scope | Keep the order reference, date, address and specified work, providing its illustrations and location information to the appointed professional. |
| Appropriate appointments | Have the required authorised person, engineer and registered contractor appointments checked against the demolition scope and order, retaining appointment records. |
| Common parts and management | For common parts, organise coordination with co-owners, the owners' corporation and management, with the deed and existing records for the responsible professional. |
| Procedure and completion records | Have the responsible professional confirm the procedure, notices and completion documents. Retain the scope, submissions and departmental correspondence, rather than relying on an invoice as compliance evidence. |
Scope and arrangements
- A removal order differs from a statutory warning notice registrable against title. Follow the actual document received.
- Minor-works procedures and validation arrangements have their own scope; the structure's label alone does not establish retention or compliance.
