The new residential building standard applies across Victoria from 11 March 2009. The Bushfire Building Advice line, 1300 360 320, operates from 9.00am to 5.00pm on Monday to Friday, exc public holidays.

REGULATION UPDATES

For regulation updates including Building Amendment Regulations 2009 effective 1 September 2009 and Building Amendment (Bushfire Construction) further Interim Regulations 2009 effective 1 September 2009.

As a result of these changes the Building Practitioner Register has been updated to reflect the new categories. Current Building Surveyors will be grandfathered into the Building Surveyor Unlimited category and the prefix of their registration will now be BS-U. The numeric component will remain the same (e.g BS 0000 will now become BS-U 0000). The password will also remain the same.
