Dilapidation Report FAQ — Glen Waverley

The City of Monash commonly includes dilapidation report conditions in planning permits for medium and high-density developments. Property owners near construction sites should check with the council or developer to confirm whether reports have been arranged for their property.
Glen Waverley is built on reactive clay soils that are prone to movement with moisture changes. Construction activities including excavation, dewatering, and changes to surface water flow can exacerbate soil movement and increase the risk of cracking and settlement in neighbouring properties.
The typical survey radius depends on the scale of construction. For standard townhouse developments, adjacent properties are usually surveyed. For larger apartment complexes, the council may require surveys within 15-30 metres of the construction boundary.
