Traditional Building Character Overlay (TBCO)
Brisbane City Council seeks to prioritise retaining homes build before 1946, located within the Traditional Building Character Overlay (TBCO). The TBCO (demolition) Code has been designed to protect the unique traditional character and historical significance of specific homes, more so those that are part of Brisbane’s history. However, we recognise that there are legitimate circumstances where demolition of these pre-1946 dwellings is both necessary and compliant in line with the TBCO (Demolition) Code. Thanks to our team of experienced consultants, we are here to support you in such cases.
Strategic Compliance & Approval
Securing the relevant approvals to demolish a traditional character home involves a multifaceted approach. It doesn’t just come down to evaluating specific homes and their immediate surroundings, but also taking into careful consideration the visual character of the entire street.
Within these circumstances, our team provide:
Detailed Assessments
Our team of consultants spend time thoroughly evaluating the subject property and its context within the wider streetscape, providing a detailed assessment on completion.
Historical Context Analysis
Demonstrating how the demolition aligns with the TBCO (Demolition) Code through comprehensive and strategic historical research, and visual impact studies.
Strategic Applications
We work to strategically build a compelling argument that accurately outlines compliance with TBCO regulations, backed by data and expert insights for property subject to redevelopment.
