What matters for carpentry in Melbourne
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. Check your own address free on VicPlan at mapshare.vic.gov.au/vicplan.

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.

Bushfire controls reach well into greater Melbourne, particularly Yarra Ranges, Nillumbik and Cardinia on the city's eastern and northern fringe. A house 40 minutes from the CBD can still need a BAL assessment and AS 3959 construction, so check VicPlan before you buy or extend.

Melbourne has an unusually large stock of pre-1960 weatherboard and Victorian era houses sitting on timber stumps, so restumping and reblocking are ordinary trades here in a way they are not in most Australian cities. Victoria is unusual in having a builder registration class purely for re-stumping and re-blocking, and that work is excluded from the $10,000 small job exemption.
