Request for Copies of Plans and Documents
Background
Copies of Building Plans and/or documentation are available, in most cases, from approximately the late 1970's for properties within the suburbs of Frankston, Frankston North, Frankston South, Karingal and Seaford, and from approximately 1990 for properties within the suburbs of Langwarrin, Langwarrin South, Skye and Carrum Downs (which used to be under the Shire of Cranbourne).
For properties which used to be under the Shire of Cranbourne, plans and/or documents approved prior to 1990 may be available from Casey Council, however an application is required to be made initially through Frankston City Council's Building Department.
Copies of plans/documentation can only be provided to the current owner of a property. If you are not the current owner written authorisation from the owner is required.
View building plans and documents related to an adjoining property or a property that I do not own. The Building Regulations 2006 stipulate that plans and documents relating to a Building Permit can not be viewed by anyone other than the property owner.
It should however be noted that where consent is given in writing from the owners of the property, plans and documents can be viewed, subject to availability.
