Building Surveyor

Mr Rod Bayliss is Council's Building Surveyor. Rod is located in Kalbarri and travels to the Northampton office every Tuesday and Thursday. All inquiries regarding building or demolition of buildings can be directed to Rod.

Building Applications & Licences

Generally a licence is to be obtained for any structure being placed on your property within the Shire, this includes such works as swimming pools, sheds, patios and in some circumstances retaining walls. A building application can be obtained from either the Northampton or Kalbarri Offices and must be completed with all required plans and associated fees.

The Building Surveyor has the authority to approve or refuse building applications unless the application also requires Planning Approval, in which case it will be referred to Council for determination.
