Building and Planning Enforcement

A notice from council about building or planning works is stressful, and it comes with deadlines. We work out what council needs, deal with them for you and help you get the matter resolved.

Common situations

  • Building works done without a building permit

  • Building notices and building orders

  • Use or works without a planning permit

  • Planning infringement notices

  • Enforcement orders and VCAT

How we help

  • Review the notice and your deadlines

  • Explain your options in plain English

  • Prepare retrospective planning applications

  • Deal with council on your behalf

  • Represent you at VCAT if it goes that far

Act early

Notices come with deadlines, and missing them can lead to fines or further orders. Call us as soon as you receive one.
