Victorian Municipal Building Surveyors Group: Understanding Municipal Building Control

The Victorian Municipal Building Surveyors Group (VMBSG) is an incorporated association representing municipal building surveyors and other professionals involved in local government building control across Victoria.

Municipal building surveyors perform an important role within Victoria’s building system, particularly in relation to municipal building control, safety, compliance and enforcement responsibilities.

The VMBSG provides its members with professional resources, industry information, education and opportunities to collaborate on issues affecting building control throughout Victoria.

For homeowners, builders and developers, its website can also provide useful insight into the role councils and municipal building surveyors play within Victoria’s broader building regulatory framework.

The VMBSG itself does not issue your private building permit. Building permits are issued by the relevant building surveyor appointed to the project, which may be a private building surveyor or, where available, a municipal building surveyor.
