Carpenter in Bendigo

In Victoria, a builder or tradesperson doing work worth more than $10,000 must be registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission, and the job needs a written major domestic building contract.

Restumping, reblocking and demolition need a registered person whatever the price. Work that is only one trade, such as painting, tiling, plastering, plumbing or electrical work, is treated differently.

Many minor works are exempt under the Greater Bendigo Heritage Permit Exemptions Incorporated Plan, so talk to the City's heritage advisor before you start, through the City on 1300 002 642.
