  • Under section 148 of the Water Act 1989 you need the water corporation's written consent before building, excavating or landscaping over an easement or close to its water or sewer assets. That catches sheds, tanks, pergolas, decks and fences, and unapproved structures can be ordered out.

  • Victoria has five internal biosecurity zones that restrict what you can move within the state: phylloxera, potato cyst nematode, the Toolangi Plant Protection District, green snail and tomato yellow leaf curl virus. They catch grapevines, potatoes, nursery plants, soil and the equipment that touched them.

  • There are six Phylloxera Infested Zones in Victoria and two Phylloxera Exclusion Zones, Western Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula. If you own grapevines, even potted ones, you cannot move them or vineyard soil between zones without a permit, and Agriculture Victoria has an address lookup so you can check a property before moving day.

  • Victorian footings are designed to the AS 2870 site class on your geotechnical report, running A and S for stable sand and slightly reactive clay through M, then H1 and H2 for highly reactive clay, and E for extremely reactive ground. Ask which class your block is before you accept a slab or footing quote, because it changes both the design and the price.
