Frequent Risk Signals

• Council enforcement — Councils can issue Show Cause Notices requiring you to either obtain retrospective approval (if possible) or demolish the structure entirely — at your cost. Demolition of a large shed or extension can cost $20,000–$80,000+.
• Retrospective approval costs — Getting an existing structure approved retrospectively (if the council allows it) requires a certifier, engineering reports, and potentially costly modifications to meet current building codes.
• Insurance issues — If an unapproved structure causes damage, your insurer may refuse a claim on the basis that the structure was not legally built.
• Disclosure obligation — Sellers must disclose known illegal structures. But "known" is the key word — if the seller claims ignorance, proving otherwise is difficult.
• No exemption for age — Older structures are not exempt from compliance requirements just because they've stood for decades.
• Demolition Orders: The ACT Planning and Land Authority has the power to issue rectification or demolition orders for any structure built without approval, such as unapproved decks, pergolas, or garage conversions, often at the buyer's expense.
