Anyone putting up, changing or taking down scaffolding where a person or object could fall more than 4 metres needs a High Risk Work Licence in the right class: basic (SB), intermediate (SI) or advanced (SA). Ask your scaffolder which class their crew holds and for a copy of their insurance.
City of Darwin: Works permit. Work that uses council land, including road reserves, footpaths and verges, needs an approved works permit before it starts, and the application form covers hoarding and gantries. Council needs at least five working days' notice.
Suburbs outside the city centre may be in a different council area. Your scaffolder will often apply for you, so check who is arranging it before the job starts. City of Darwin's permit page (checked November 2026).
