What matters for roofing & gutters 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.

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.

In a Melbourne heritage overlay you need a planning permit to demolish or remove even part of a building, to build a fence, to externally alter the house, or to externally paint a surface that was never painted. The schedule can add further controls over external painting, internal alterations or trees, so check your free property report before you book a trade.
