Building permits, council and disputes in Officer VIC
Building permits in Officer are issued by a registered building surveyor, who also issues the occupancy permit at the end. Cardinia Shire Council handles planning and the report and consent process. If a builder will not fix defects, the path runs from a written request to the Building and Plumbing Commission's dispute resolution service (formerly DBDRV), then VCAT.
Your building surveyor carries out the mandatory inspections and issues the occupancy permit.
Domestic building insurance must be in place for most builds over the threshold.
Put every defect request to the builder in writing, with the report attached.
BPC dispute resolution comes before VCAT for most domestic disputes.
VCAT needs an expert witness report, not a standard inspection report.
