Permits, council and building disputes in Wyndham Vale VIC

Wyndham Vale is in the City of Wyndham, managed by Wyndham City Council. A home is approved by a building permit issued by a registered building surveyor, who also issues the occupancy permit at the end. If a defect is not fixed, the path is a written request to the builder, then the Building and Plumbing Commission dispute resolution service (formerly DBDRV), then VCAT.

The building surveyor issues the building permit and the occupancy permit.

Planning matters and report and consent sit with Wyndham City Council.

Put every defect request to your builder in writing, with the report attached.

The BPC dispute resolution service comes before VCAT.

VCAT needs an expert witness report, not a standard defect report.
