Building surveying and certification for Yarrawonga, Mulwala and surrounding communities. Work with a team that understands the two approval systems, starting with which side of the border your property is on.
Yarrawonga is in Victoria, within Moira Shire. Mulwala is in NSW, within Federation Council. The name of the approval, application forms and appointment process change when you cross the border.
If your builder or designer works in both towns, make the property address and state clear on the enquiry. The same project description does not mean the same application paperwork.
YARRAWONGA / VICTORIA
Building permits.
Choose your building surveyor, prepare the appointment and Form 1, and check planning permission with Moira Shire. A required planning permit must be in place before a building permit can be issued.
Discuss a Construction Certificate after development consent or a CDC for eligible work. Prepare the certification contract and Planning Portal application, with the principal certifier appointment as a separate step.
Supply any available title or site information, existing approvals and council correspondence. Identify known easements, drainage issues or other site constraints, including information already obtained for a property near the river or lake. We do not assume the same restrictions apply to every site.
Federation Council also identifies separate approval processes for some plumbing and other activities. Confirm these matters with the relevant authority as part of organising your project.

Three things for a useful first enquiry.
Where and what
The exact address and state, your contact details, a description of the work and the building’s intended use.
Plans and approvals
Available drawings, any development consent or planning permit, and known property information. Note any existing certifier or surveyor appointment.
Cost and coordination
Estimated cost of works, preferred timing, project team contacts and access details. We confirm the inspection arrangements for your site.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
A few useful answers.
Can you help with homes, pools and commercial projects?
We work with owners, builders and developers across a wide range of projects and all building classes. Our pool permit, shed and garage and commercial project guides explain what to prepare.
Do you have an office in Yarrawonga or Mulwala?
Our office is in Albury. We service the region through our team, confirming the scope and inspection arrangements for each project. The places shown on our coverage map are service areas, not additional offices.
Can I start with a quote if I do not know the pathway?
Yes. Send the address, description, estimated cost and available documents. Choose “Not sure” in the application checklist and discuss the pathway with our team before lodging.
