Decking & Safety Barrier Permits

In Victoria, Australia, building or replacing a deck or balcony requires a building permit to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Proper design and construction are crucial to prevent structural risks, including overloading, termite damage, and corrosion. Safety barriers, such as balustrades, must meet specific standards to protect users from falls and other hazards. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to prolong the lifespan of decks and balconies while ensuring ongoing safety.
