When you request a building records search, we search council's building records.
Our records include:

- from July 1985 onwards for the former Caloundra shire.
- final inspections
- from 1992 onwards for properties in the former Maroochy shire

To get a copy of building plans that council may hold, you need to complete a file retrieval form.
For plumbing information, you need to select the applicable plumbing records search options on the building, plumbing and development search application.
