Report and consent
The City of Ballarat's report and consent must be obtained when a design does not comply with Part 5 of the Building Regulations.
Part 5 sets out the minimum siting requirements, such as:
- building setbacks

- impermeable surfaces
- solar access
- overshadowing
- overlooking
- fence heights
The report and consent application form has two parts. Each application must include supporting documentation and an application fee. Part A of the form has a list of supporting documents needed. We strongly recommended that the proposal is assessed by a building surveyor before to submitting your application to ensure any non-compliance is accurately identified.

- If instructed in the one of the Part B forms, complete the Adjoining Owner Comment Form.
