Demolition in Victoria

do I need a demolition license/registration to knock down small structures like chook sheds, garages, patios, pet enclosures and such?

Anything small such as these? Is it once you get to single storey structures that you need to be licensed/registered

Thinking of starting small in demo and want to be sure I am allowed to knock down certain things.

Thanks

Derek

Hi Derek,

Thanks for your question.

Licensing requirements do vary depending on the size of the structure being demolished but you may well be required to obtain a restricted license for small scale demolitions as factors such as asbestos and electrical wiring will still come into play in these scenarios.

Worksafe Victoria have a wealth of information on the subject and are probably your best bet for getting a definitive answer. They can be contacted on:1800 136 089.
