Certification and council rules in Hume

Hume is a growth-corridor council where much of the housing stock is recent, so many pools are still inside their first four-year Victorian compliance cycle and many owners have never been through one. Council writes to you with your first due date, and because that letter can arrive years before anything is required it is very commonly lost. Hume also has substantial industrial and airport-related planning overlays in parts of the LGA. Checking your title and the council's planning maps before commissioning a design is worth more than discovering an overlay at lodgement.

The Building Regulations 2018 require registration with your council. Council notifies you in writing of the date your next certificate of barrier compliance is due, and the certificate must be lodged within 30 days of the inspector issuing it. Victoria's building regulator is now the Building and Plumbing Commission; older guidance still says Victorian Building Authority. Full VIC guide →
