What matters for building & renovation in Melbourne

  • Unlicensed asbestos removal in a Victorian workplace is capped twice over. Regulation 250 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 allows no more than 10 square metres of non-friable material in total and no more than one hour of asbestos removal work in any seven day period. The time cap does not exist in the other states.

  • EPA Victoria tells customers what to ask for. Your removalist should hold a permission to transport reportable priority waste, use Waste Tracker, and give you the Waste Tracker waste record showing the asbestos reached a lawful place.

  • Victoria is the only state still outside the national work health and safety laws, so asbestos duties here sit under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 and are enforced by WorkSafe Victoria rather than under the model WHS regulations.

  • 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.
