Concrete Cancer Repair around Fortitude Valley
The Valley Malls are the Brunswick Street Mall and Chinatown Mall. Erecting scaffolding or hoarding there, facade or awning repair included, needs a Council permit, with a A$366.80 application fee, a A$30.40 per square metre per week permit fee, and a public liability certificate of currency for A$20 million.
A three-storey block of flats built from November 1940, described at the time as having reinforced concrete balconies, is on the Council's Local Heritage Places register; the same pre-1972 plans gap and heritage approval steps as New Farm apply to it.
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.
