What matters for inspections & compliance in Traralgon

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Amendment VC248, gazetted on 5 May 2026, significantly changed Clauses 13.02, 44.06 and 53.02 of the Victoria Planning Provisions, which are the bushfire planning clauses. If you are relying on a bushfire assessment or planning advice prepared before May 2026, check whether it still reflects the current provisions.
