Worksafe TAS advise they are recording increasing cases of DIY’s suffering from asbestos disease through renovating houses/commercial properties built before 1990. Worksafe TAS highly recommend that owner builders undertaking renovations on a house/commercial space built before 1990 complete an Asbestos Awareness course.

Building Surveyors and Owner Builders

The owner must engage a Building Surveyor and:
  • Present plans and specifications for the proposed works
  • Make application for an Owner Builder Permit in consultation with your Building Surveyor and lodge the application at a Service Tasmania shop
  • Have the application for an Owner Builder Permit approved by the Administrator of Occupational Licensing, and
  • Receive a Certificate of Likely Compliance from the Building Surveyor
The owner is then required to apply for a building permit.
The owner must provide the Certificate of Likely Compliance, copies of the plans, specifications and title documents to the local council (Permit Authority) with the application.
