Apply for an asset protection permit

An asset protection permit is required to help safeguard public assets such as footpaths, driveways, nature strips, and street trees etc. During building or construction works these assets must be kept safe and free from damage.

If your project is likely to impact public infrastructure, then you will need to apply for an asset protection permit in addition to a building permit. This may include: 

  • demolition work
  • building works valued at $20,000 or above
  • pool or spa works valued more $10,000
  • works that involve heavy machinery, concrete trucks, cranes or excavation.
  • If you are accessing your property via a Laneway or Reserve, you may need a Parks Crossing Permit in addition to your Asset Protection Permit. Apply for a parks crossing permit - Frankston City Council
