Council Building Notice?
Why you received this notice
If the Council becomes aware of an unauthorised structure or the improper use of a building, they may issue a Building Notice or Building Order requiring you to 'show cause'—that is, explain why the non-compliant structure should not be removed or demolished within the timeframe outlined in the notice.
Receiving this kind of formal notice can be overwhelming, but you're not alone. In most cases, engaging a qualified professional to represent you can significantly improve your chances of achieving a more favourable outcome and resolving the issue effectively.
By choosing to 'show cause', you're requesting the Council to consider allowing the structure to either:
- remain as is, or
- be modified to meet current compliance standards.
We specialise in helping property owners navigate this process with confidence and clarity.
