While there are many reasons that your new home may require development approval from Council, some of the more common reasons include:
You're building within Brisbane’s Traditional Building Character Overlay / Character Zone
You're building on a small lot and require a relaxation for setbacks, site cover, height or building length
You're building within an area that is mapped as being impacted by flooding constraints
You're building on a site that backs onto a canal or river
Your site slopes steeply making compliance with height limitations challenging
