Latrobe City Council has successfully pursued legal action against a local unregistered dwelling Contractor.
Magistrate Kelly found the contractor guilty on all charges, imposing a second conviction, a fine of $5000 and costs of $3140.20. He was critical of the builder’s failure to obtain a building permit, be appropriately registered as a Building Practitioner (restumping, reblocking, etc.) and acknowledged that the rights of the elderly property owner had been compromised as a result of the building works. Latrobe City Council wishes to remind all residents considering building work that they must have received a building permit for any works prior to allowing their contractor to commence any building works. Also residents must ensure that their builder or contractor is a Registered Building Practitioner (RBP) with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). If residents are unsure they can check the builder’s registration on the VBA’s web site at https://consumer.etoolbox.buildingcommission.com.au/Pages/Search.aspx.
