Hoarding and barricades protect the public during construction and keep the construction site secure at all times.
You must have a permit in place before putting up hoarding, a protective barrier or temporary fencing on Council land.
If a hoarding is required for a building permit, you’ll need a Report and Consent - Precautions Over Street from Council before the building permit is issued.
When you have your Report and Consent, you can apply for a hoarding permit.
