Victorian Government hitting home builders for six
The Victorian Government seems determined to destroy the building industry with ithe introduction of a new layer of bureaucracy and cost. The Building & Plumbing Commission has replaced the Victorian Building Authority. It encompases Domestic Building Disputes Resolution Victoria and the Domestic Building Insurance (DBI) function of the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority. The bureaucratic juggernaut will impose huge costs on an industry already reeling from a huge increase in the cost of compliance as well as materials and labour.
