Legal Requirements & What Homeowners Need to Know Before Demolition
Before any residential demolition can begin in Melbourne, there are important legal obligations every homeowner must understand. From council permits to the Building Act, navigating the compliance side of demolition can feel overwhelming — but our team handles all of it on your behalf, so you don’t have to.
-
Section 29A of the Building Act 1993 In the City of Melbourne, you must obtain consent under Section 29A before a demolition permit is granted. Our team manages this application process for you.
-
Council Demolition Permit Most residential demolitions require a permit from your local council. We prepare and submit all documentation on your behalf.
-
Utility Disconnections Gas, electricity and water must be formally disconnected before demolition begins. We coordinate with relevant authorities to ensure this is completed correctly.
-
Asbestos Inspection Homes built before 1990 must be inspected for asbestos before demolition. Our licensed team manages inspections and safe removal if required.
-
Neighbour Notification In many cases, neighbouring properties must be notified before demolition commences. We advise you on requirements specific to your suburb.
