Permits, council and building disputes in Mickleham VIC
Your building permit comes from a registered building surveyor rather than the council, and the occupancy permit at completion comes from the same surveyor. Hume handles planning permits and report and consent. If a dispute cannot be resolved with the builder in writing, the path runs through the Building and Plumbing Commission's dispute resolution service, formerly DBDRV, and then VCAT.

Put every dispute to the builder in writing first, because you will be asked.
The Building and Plumbing Commission, formerly the VBA, registers practitioners.
Any Victorian home build above the threshold has to be covered by Domestic Building Insurance.
A ten year limit on building claims runs from s 134 of the Building Act 1993.
A defect report goes to you and your builder; it is not tribunal evidence. For VCAT you would need an expert witness report.
