What is a Protection Works Notice?
Protection works notices are mandated under the Building Act 1993 (Vic) that must be issued before specific building works commence. It is intended to safeguard adjoining properties from potential impacts of construction, such as excavation, alterations to foundations, or construction-related disturbance.
If you are Planning Construction
Inner Melbourne construction often involves tight urban sites, heritage‑listed buildings, narrow laneways & boundary‑to‑boundary development.
When you lodge a building permit application, your building surveyor may issue a Form 6 determination stating that your proposed works could impact an adjoining property.
Once this determination is made, you must serve Protection Work Notices (Form 7 & Form 8) outlining the protection measures you’ll implement to safeguard neighbouring structures during the build.
Building Permits & Serving Protection Works Notices
These notices are a mandatory compliance requirement under Victorian building legislation.
A building surveyor cannot issue or progress your building permit until the Protection Work Notices have been correctly served and the adjoining owner has had the opportunity to respond. Completing this step accurately prevents permit delays.
