requires a building permit and with a value of
$20,000 or more and is located within the
area of the Board’s jurisdiction; or

building contractor.
Financial capacity
Building contractors must demonstrate their
capacity to pay debts as and when they fall due.
A contractor can do this by submitting financial
statements, an insurance certificate of currency
or a letter from an independent accountant.

for further options.
