What matters for carpentry in Geelong
Victoria has two separate bushfire controls and they do different things. The Bushfire Management Overlay can require a planning permit before you build, while the designated Bushfire Prone Area sets the construction standard through a BAL rating under AS 3959.

If your block is in a designated bushfire prone area in Victoria, the building surveyor must treat the bushfire attack level as 12.5 even when the assessment comes back as LOW. That floor applies to the house, to an attached deck and to a garage or shed associated with it, so a builder quoting standard construction on such a block has it wrong.

Geelong West and central Geelong still hold houses from the 1860s. The City of Greater Geelong's own heritage guidance warns that most old buildings here require restumping, repairs to the roof and rainwater disposal system, and rewiring, so budget for those three before any cosmetic work.

Domestic building insurance is compulsory in Victoria once the contract is worth more than $16,000, and the builder must hold it before asking you for any money. It covers you if the builder dies, disappears or becomes insolvent, up to $300,000 and for six years on structural defects.
