Dilapidation Report FAQ — Camberwell

The City of Boroondara is one of Melbourne's stricter councils regarding construction compliance, including dilapidation report requirements. The council frequently mandates pre and post-construction condition surveys as planning permit conditions, particularly within heritage overlay areas.
If the renovation involves significant structural work, excavation, or demolition, a dilapidation report is strongly recommended. Even renovations that seem minor can involve activities like underpinning or tree removal that affect neighbouring properties.
A thorough report should cover all internal areas (walls, ceilings, floors), all external facades, driveways and paths, fences and retaining walls, the roof (where visible), and any outbuildings or swimming pools. For heritage properties, all original features should be documented in detail.
