What matters for carpentry in Hobart

  • Tasmania sorts building work into low risk, notifiable and permit work under the Director's Determination made under the Building Act 2016. Low risk work needs no permit, but you still have to lodge Form 80 Notice of Low Risk Work with your council once it is finished.

  • As an owner in Tasmania you can build small structures up to 18 square metres, or erect a prefabricated shed up to 36 square metres, without a building permit. Anything larger has to be built by a licensed builder, and larger sheds, garages, carports, decks, boundary walls, tanks and pools fall into notifiable work.

  • If your block sits in a bushfire, landslip, coastal inundation, coastal erosion or riverine inundation hazard area, work that would be low risk anywhere else is lifted to notifiable work and a building surveyor has to assess it. Check the hazard overlays with your council before you price a job.

  • The National Construction Code's termite risk management provisions do not apply in Tasmania, because termites are not considered to be a risk in the state. A Tasmanian house does not need the termite management system that is standard on every mainland slab.
