At the Rockhampton Regional Council, it's our job to oversee the safety of the community. Everything from managing park, public property and the Fitzroy River to ensuring the safety of building projects is our responsibility. If you're thinking of building, renovating or extending your property, ensure you've lodged a building application. All types of dwellings, structures, conversions, fences, retaining walls, swimming pools (and swimming pool fences) and demolition projects require building certification in Rockhampton. For more information, please visit our website. Our region is prone to many natural disasters, including bushfires, floods, cyclones and storm surges. As your local council, we can help you prepare for natural disasters, keep you up-to-date during them, as well as lead the way in recovery. You can find out more about our strategies for handling natural disasters on our website. If you have any questions regarding local laws, the condition of public property, have concerns about barking dogs in your neighbourhood or anything regarding our local community, please contact us today.
