Demolition FAQs
Do I need council approval for demolition?
Yes, most demolition work requires a development application or complying development
certificate from your local council. Your demolition contractor can advise on requirements
and often assist with the approval process.
What happens if asbestos is found?
If asbestos is present, it must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist before general
demolition can proceed. An asbestos survey is required before demolishing any building
constructed before 1990. Your contractor can arrange testing and licensed removal.
How long does house demolition take?
A standard single storey house can be demolished and cleared in 2 to 5 days once all
approvals and disconnections are complete. Larger homes or those with asbestos may take
longer. Allow additional time for the approval process before work begins.
Can I keep materials from the demolition?
Yes, discuss this with your contractor before work starts. Salvageable items like timber
beams, bricks, doors and fixtures can often be set aside. Some contractors offer reduced
pricing if they can sell salvaged materials.
