Permits, council and building disputes in Clyde VIC
Your building permit comes from a registered building surveyor, not the council, and the occupancy permit at completion comes from the same surveyor. The council handles planning permits and report and consent. If a dispute cannot be resolved with the builder in writing, the path is the Building and Plumbing Commission's dispute resolution service, formerly DBDRV, and then VCAT.

Put every dispute to the builder in writing first. The dispute service will ask whether you did.
The Building and Plumbing Commission, formerly the VBA, also regulates practitioner registration.
For a Clyde build over the dollar threshold, your builder must hold Domestic Building Insurance.
The Building Act 1993 sets a ten year limitation for building actions in Victoria.
A defect report is written for you and your builder. A VCAT hearing calls for an expert witness report instead.
