Permits, council and building disputes in Melton South VIC

Your building permit comes from a registered building surveyor rather than the council, and the occupancy permit at completion comes from the same surveyor. The City of Melton handles planning permits and report and consent. Where a dispute cannot be resolved with the builder in writing, the route is the Building and Plumbing Commission's dispute resolution service, formerly DBDRV, and then VCAT.
