What matters for concreting & paving in Melbourne

Victoria has a registration class just for restumping, the domestic builder limited to re-stumping and re-blocking, which needs a civil foundations qualification and at least two years of practical experience. Check the person quoting holds that class, not a general builder listing.

Most small domestic building jobs in Victoria are exempt from builder registration if they cost $10,000 or less, but restumping, reblocking, demolition and removing a home are carved out of that exemption. A restumper must be registered no matter how small the job is.

Victoria's building permit exemption for repair and maintenance specifically excludes underpinning and replacing footings. That means restumping, reblocking and underpinning need a building permit, and a job quoted without one should make you ask questions.

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.
