VBA enforcement action – notices of concern, investigations, internal review
Have you received a Show Cause Notice or Notice to Take Disciplinary Action from the VBA? Are you under investigation for alleged breaches of the Building Act 1993 (Vic)? Navigating the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) enforcement process can be daunting. At Mackay Chapman, our team of expert lawyers will guide you through every step of the way. With our in-depth knowledge and experience, we provide strategic solutions to address VBA enforcement action effectively.
Understanding VBA enforcement action
The VBA plays a crucial role in regulating the building and construction industry in Victoria. Enforcement action by the VBA can range from issuing notices and directions to pursuing disciplinary proceedings against builders, developers and other industry stakeholders.
Whilst understanding the VBA enforcement action process is essential for anyone involved in the construction sector, expert legal guidance is critical when engaging with it.
How Mackay Chapman can assist you
Comprehensive assessment
We will conduct a thorough review of, firstly, the enforcement action taken by the VBA, and secondly, your individual circumstances, assessing the allegations and identifying potential legal defences.
Strategic response
We will develop a strategic response tailored to your specific circumstances, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected throughout the enforcement action process.
Negotiation and advocacy
We will engage with the VBA on your behalf. Once enforcement has been kicked-off, our guiding approach is to seek to resolve it at the earliest opportunity, accepting that there are certain steps that need to be taken for the regulator to be satisfied before, for example, discontinuing a notice of concern. When representations and – in some cases – litigation become necessary, we will advocate vigorously on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.
Proven Results
We will provide you with comprehensive guidance on compliance with VBA regulations, helping you to avoid future enforcement actions and maintain regulatory compliance.
