Repairs

Some repairs can be done quickly and expediently. While others may take time with the delivery of product, organising additional team and/or organising relevant materials and expertise.

We can inform council on your behalf, if the works are extensive, we can organise an application for a “Stay of Penalty”. A “stay of penalty” application is basically a request for an extension of time to perform the works with council’s knowledge, so your don’t get any fines.

The priority is to submit the correct documentation to council, on time, expedite any repairs, in line with the submission and Australian standards.
