ADVICE The following advice is provided to you to assist in the implementation of the planning permit that has been issued subject to the conditions above. The advice is not exhaustive and you must inform yourself of any other legislation, bylaws, regulations, codes or standards that will apply to your development under which you may need to obtain an approval. Visit the Council's website for further information. Prior to any commencement of work on the site or commencement of use the following additional permits/approval may be required from the Hobart City Council. CONDITION ENDORSEMENT If any condition requires that further documents are submitted and approved, you will need to submit the relevant documentation to satisfy the condition via the Condition Endorsement Submission through PlanBuild. Detailed instructions can be found here. Once approved, the Council will respond to you via PlanBuild that the condition has been endorsed (satisfied). Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays. Fees for Condition Endorsement are set out in Council’s Fees and Charges. VISITOR ACCOMMODATION More information on visitor accommodation, including when building approval is required, can be found here. In all cases, check with your insurance company that you have adequate cover. If you have a spa or a pool at your property then you are required to test for microbiological quality and chemical parameters on a monthly basis, under the Public Health Act 1997.
