Victorian government launches $200,000 pilot program to assist rural councils with building surveyor shortage.
The Victorian government has launched a $200,000 pilot program to assist rural councils struggling with a shortage of building surveyors, leading to over 90% of permits being issued by private certifiers. The initiative targets four councils in the Wimmera-Mallee region and includes a feasibility study to explore shared surveying services. Results will be shared with other rural councils to potentially establish similar hubs, enhancing efficiency in housing approvals.
