Concrete Cancer Repair in Brisbane City
In the CBD, access is the local factor: it is the Council's highest footpath permit fee zone, it gets no 48-hour allowance for materials on a footway, and more footpath width has to stay clear than in a residential area.

Concrete Cancer Repair around Brisbane City
The CBD is the PC1 principal centre (city centre) zone, which is Council fee Zone A: A$11.50 per square metre per week for a footpath permit, against A$5.45 in Zone B and A$3.20 in Zone C.
Outside the CBD, materials on a footway for less than 48 hours need no approval; inside it there is no such allowance, and 1.8 metres of footpath must stay clear against 1.2 metres in residential areas. Scaffolding or hoarding on the Queen Street Mall needs the same mall permit as the Valley Malls.
Permits and Brisbane City Council rules
Whether a repair needs building approval is for a private building certifier to say: the Council is a referral agency, and the Building Regulation 2021 exempts a repair only where it does not change the building's floor area or height and does not affect a structural component other than a minor one. Scaffold or hoarding on a footpath needs a separate Council permit.
