Building notices from Melton City Council
Melton City Council's Building Services Unit administers and enforces the building provisions in the City of Melton, and the council publishes a Building Control Intervention Policy setting out how it takes action.
Building notices for illegal building work in Melton are served by Melton City Council's municipal building surveyor, the registered building surveyor the council appoints to enforce the Building Act. A building notice asks you to show cause, in writing and by the date printed on it, why you should not have to do what it describes, such as demolishing and removing the work. Make your representations to the municipal building surveyor in the manner the notice gives. If the municipal building surveyor is not satisfied, or nothing arrives in time, they can make a building order.
Melton City Council keeps a register of building notices and orders in the municipality, which anyone can inspect during office hours. If you are buying a property, ask the council whether one applies to it.

Questions about the notice itself go to the council's municipal building surveyor. Questions about the work, the drawings and the permit come to us.
Building notice certification: how we help
- Inspect the work as built and report on what complies and what does not.
- Tell you which documents are needed, such as drawings of the work as built and an engineer's report or design for any rectification work.
- Issue the building permit for the rectification work, and carry out the inspections.
- Issue the certificate of final inspection or occupancy permit, and give you what you need to send to Melton City Council with your representations.
To have the notice cancelled, your representations to the municipal building surveyor should reply to each item in the notice and include the report, building permit and, once the work is complete, the final certificate. If you believe the notice is wrong, say why and attach the evidence, such as a permit already issued for the work.
Need more time? We can write to Melton City Council's municipal building surveyor on your behalf, before the date on the notice, to ask for an extension, setting out what is under way and when we expect it done. Whether to allow it is the municipal building surveyor's decision.
