1. Prior to the commencement of any demolition, you will need to acquire a demolition permit from your local council. This can take several weeks so it is important you look into this well before the intended demolition date.
2. If any foliage is being removed, particularly trees, you may also need a tree removal permit. This is dependent on the age, size and location of the trees.  You will need to check with your local council if there are any vegetation protection orders in place on your property.
3. The sewerage needs to be capped off. This can be done by a licensed plumber who will go on site for you and arrange for the council inspection.
4. A number of services need to be abolished from the site. This includes the electricity and meter. This is different from getting it disconnected and must be arranged through your utility provider. Alternatively, you can have a temporary builder’s supply installed if necessary. You should contact your electricity retailer to organise this.
5. You will also need to abolish the gas service. This is similar to abolishing the electricity service. You will need to contact your retail gas provider for the relevant forms to complete for your area.
