Comparing quotes in Perth

With 51 businesses covering Perth, it's worth getting two or three quotes for the same job. Ask each one:

  • which High Risk Work Licence class their crew holds, and for a copy of their insurance
  • whether putting up and taking down the scaffold are both included
  • how many weeks of hire the price covers, and the cost of each extra week
  • who applies for the council permit, if the scaffold sits on a footpath or road

Licences

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.

Council permits

City of Perth: Hoarding, gantry and scaffold permit. A hoarding, gantry or scaffold on the road reserve needs this permit, plus a separate obstruction permit while it's put up and taken down. The City asks for at least 10 business days to process an application.

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 Perth's permit page (checked November 2026).
