Thread: Certificate of Occupancy

Can someone tell me what the basic requirements are to gain a certificate of occupancy for a new house in Victoria?

Regards

Ralf

That is a very broad question. Is there something in particular you are asking after?

These are things which I know are required .... there are probably more.

- Kitchen cooker, sink
- Laundry tub and space for a washing machine
- Bath or shower
- Toilet and wash basin
- I think all the specifications on the plans need to be done eg insulation, termite protection
- Plumbing cerificate, electrical certificate, glazing certificate, insulation certificate
- Stairs where required ( I have heard of people nailing doors closed so stairs are not needed)
- Smoke alarms
- The BCA includes waterproofing and tiling in wet areas in the health and ammenity section so thats probably required
