Certification and council rules in City of Casey
Casey is one of Victoria's largest and fastest-growing councils, and Victoria runs a system unlike either NSW or Queensland: registration is with the council, the barrier compliance certificate runs on a four-year cycle, and the certificate must be lodged with council within 30 days of the inspector issuing it. That lodgement step is the one Casey owners miss. Passing the inspection and leaving the certificate in a drawer leaves you non-compliant on the lodgement obligation even though the barrier itself is entirely fine.
