G'Day

I have been told I need a Cairns Council building permit / approval for any structure that has footings. QLD reg apparently as well as engineered plans (total cost well over $600).

Does anyone know the definition of footings; can I classify what I'm using - 300x300x400mm holes with a 300mm pryda stirrup in a "pad" for my 8m long 1.2m wide ground level walkway?

If I can't, can I / how do I change my plan to remove the footings and then not need a building permit?

Cheers
