City’s ‘verge bond’ scheme to start November 2016

Published Wednesday, 26th October 2016

As part of the City of Wanneroo’s commitment to public safety and maintaining the community’s assets, a ‘street and verge bond’ scheme will begin from 1 November.

Kerb

The ‘Street and Verge Bond’ permit scheme will protect the City against damage to roads, footpaths, kerbs and drains during construction work.

Under the scheme, all works that require a building or demolition permit will also require a verge bond permit from the City before work can start.

The City’s Public Places and Local Government Property Local Law 2015 requires that along with a building and demolition application, a bond of $2,000 (GST exempt) will need to be paid to the City for building work valued at more than $5,000.

A non-refundable $100 (incl. GST) application fee is also required to cover administration costs by the City.

The $2,000 bond will be refunded if the works cause no additional damage to City infrastructure assets.

Work valued at up to $5,000 will incur a non-refundable $100 (incl. GST) application fee, but no bond is required.

If you have any questions about the street and verge bond, permit scheme, please contact the City on 9405 5000, email enquiries@wanneroo.wa.gov.au or access further information via the following links:
