IDAS Forms 1 & 2 The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) established a simple step-by-step process for making, assessing and deciding development applictions in Queensland. This process is called the Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) There are two IDAS application forms required for a building application: Other IDAS Application Forms that may be required are as follows:
Design and Siting Standards (Siting Variation) Design and siting standards (siting variations) are required to provide good residential design that promotes the efficent use of a lot, an acceptable amenity to residents, and to facilitate off street parking Variations are generally required when a proposed structure such as a new dewlling, dwelling extension, carport, garage or shed are positioined within the set boundary clearances or setbacks General setbacks or boundary clearances are: • The minimum road boundary setback (fence line/property boundary) for a dewlling, garage or a carport is 6m • The side and rear boundary clearance for a building or structure is ► 1.5m where the height from the pitching plate is 4.5m or less; and ►2m where the height from the pitching plate is greater thatn 4.5m but not more than 7.5m Building Services Authority (BSA) The Queensland Building Services Authority (BSA) is a statutory authority established to regulate the Queensland Building Industry. BSA's Statutory Insurance Scheme offers consumer protection when a licensed contractor performs "insured residential construction Any contrators performing building work valued over $1,100.00 must hold a BSA Licence. A BSA licence is like a driver's licence in that it shows that the licensed person has met BSA's technical, managerial and financial requirements. If a Contractor is being engaged to do building work a copy of the BSA Confirmation of Insurance is required if the value of the work is over $3,300.00. However if the work is being performed by an Owner Builder a copy of the BSA Owner Builders Permit is required for work valued over $11,000.00 BSA is contactable on 1300 272 272 to obtain Confirmation of Insurance or an Owner Builders Permit. Portable Long Service Leave Portable Long Service Leave provides long service leave entitlements to workers in the building and construction industry. As the building and construction industry is project driven, it would be impossible for most workers to accrue enough service with one employer to be eligible for long service leave. A copy of the Portable Long Service Leave receipt is required if the value of the building work is $80,000.00 or greater. Forms are available from Australia Post (Post Office). A fee is payable. Soil Tests What are Soil Tests? Soil Tests (Site Classification) for residential dwellings, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings are required to assess the subsurface conditions and therefore enable design of appropriate foundations. The site is classified based upon the expected movement of the foundation soils – generally related to the capacity of the soil to shrink and swell. The following classifications may be typically given • Class A – little or no ground movement • Class S – slightly reactive sites • Class M - moderately reactive sites • Class H – highly reactive sites • Class E – extremely reactive sites • Class P – problem sites When will I need a Soil Test? • ALL New Dwellings require a soil test • Major Extensions will require a soil test • (an extension approximately 80sqm or more would be classed as a major extension) • Large Commercial Sheds will require a soil test • (shed approximately 100sqm or more would be classes as a large shed) General Inquiries What do I need for a Plumbing Application?
