Certification and council rules in Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula has an unusually high proportion of holiday houses, which interacts awkwardly with Victoria's four-year compliance cycle: a property used a few weeks a year still carries the same registration and lodgement obligations as a permanent home, and correspondence about a due date is far more likely to be missed at an address nobody occupies. Coastal salt exposure also shortens gate hardware life well inside a four-year interval.
