What matters for pest control in Melbourne
Victoria overrides the national rule on termites. Under regulation 151 of the Building Regulations 2018 a new building only has to be protected against termites if the council has declared that area a termite risk area, and a detached shed or carport never has to be. Ask your council whether your address is in a declared area instead of assuming protection was installed.
Source: Building Regulations 2018 (Vic) S.R. No. 38/2018, regulations 150 and 151
The National Construction Code notes that termites are a lesser risk in parts of Victoria than elsewhere in Australia, which is why Victoria leaves the decision to councils. It does not mean your house is safe, only that a physical barrier may never have been required when it was built.
