Permits, council and building disputes in Rockbank VIC

Your building permit is issued by a registered building surveyor rather than the council, and the occupancy permit at completion comes from the same surveyor. Planning permits and report and consent go through the City of Melton. Where a dispute cannot be settled with the builder in writing, the route runs through the Building and Plumbing Commission's dispute resolution service, formerly DBDRV, and then to VCAT.
