Temporary suspension of building permit applications
Published on 07 May 2025
Yarriambiack Shire Council temporarily suspends the acceptance of building permit applications as they transition to a new service delivery model
Yarriambiack Shire Council was successful in receiving funding via Regional Development Victoria to investigate the establishment of a shared service model for municipal building surveyor services.
The Council has partnered with Buloke, Loddon, Hindmarsh and Swan Hill Council’s to address the building surveyor challenges.
Yarriambiack Shire Council will be transitioning to a new model from 20 July 2025, therefore, in preparation for the changes, the Council will need to temporarily suspend the acceptance of building permit applications, that can otherwise be processed by private registered building surveyors.
The Council will still be accepting report and consent applications, requests for information, and other applications that cannot be processed by private registered building surveyors.
The service will be temporarily ceased from Monday 05 May 2025 and will not resume until 11 August 2025.
