Building and Property Information

Glenelg Shire Council can provide different types of information about properties including whether the property is in a hazardous area, details on existing planning or building permits, or if there are any outstanding building notices or orders that need addressing.

We can also provide copies of any relevant plans or documentation that support building permits.
