Hoarding Licence
What is a hoarding licence?
A hoarding licence allows a builder to store building construction materials on a street, way or other public place behind a fence or hoarding. Materials may include bricks, timber, iron, site offices and storage sheds.
A hoarding licence does not include parking permission for construction site vehicles on a street, way or other public place. In this case, a Construction Site Parking Permit is required. For information and an application form please contact the City on 9400 4040 or see Construction Site Parking Permit Page on website. Construction Site Parking
When is a hoarding licence required?
A hoarding licence may be required when there is little or no room for the storage of building materials on site due to the nature of the building design or the size of the lot.
Hoarding licence application requirements
When applying for a hoarding licence, please ensure the following details are submitted:
- a completed hoarding licence application form;
- a site plan (two copies) to a scale no less than 1:200 indicating site boundaries, existing structures and any other site feature. The site plan must also show the proposed location and size of the hoarding; and
- a Traffic Management Plan if not previously provided to the City as part of a building licence application.
Approval
The application will be assessed and approval may be granted for the use of the street, way or public place, depending on the impact it may have on the local area and the community. Alternative use of another street, way or other public place, may also be agreed upon by mutual consent.
Fees
A hoarding licence costs $1 per month, or part of a month, for each m2 of the area of the street, way or other public place enclosed by any hoarding or fence.
For further information or enquiries please contact the City on 9400 4961.
