Owner Builder VIC
A little extra…
If you're right at the start of the process, an excellent starting point is always with your local Council (see link below) because you need to know local Council approvals e.g. Development Application, Planning Approval.
Here's a summary of the process you'll follow once you've spoken to Council and design plans are underway:
- Once you complete the VBA eLearning Assessment (and Construction Induction), you're ready to apply for the owner builder Certificate of Consent from the VBA via their application process (link below).
- When you have the Certificate of Consent, it's time to apply for a Building Permit.
- The permit can be either through a Building Surveyor or local Council. Just check if you need a Planning Permit before applying.
- Once the permit is in place, you're ready to build!
