We are committed to providing a professional and respectful service to the Victorian community, including parties to a proceeding and their representatives, and members of the public.

Abusive, aggressive, or threatening behaviour towards registry team members or Building Appeals Board (BAB) members – whether in person, by phone or in writing – will not be tolerated. Where behaviour becomes abusive or threatening, we may end the interaction or take appropriate steps in the interest of safety and wellbeing, and this may include reporting the matter to appropriate authorities. 

Payment of prescribed fees

From 1 December 2026, the registry of the BAB will no longer be accepting credit card payments via a completed Payment Details Form. Credit card payments will instead be able to be made via a secure Westpac Payway Net link which will be provided to you or your nominated representative by the registry of the BAB after the filing of and registration of a new proceeding (or proceedings) or fast track appeal request(s), or in cases where an additional prescribed fee (or fees) is/are deemed payable for an existing proceeding (or proceedings), via a written request for information. Payment by cheque or money order will continue to be accepted by the registry of the BAB via post or in-person and should be made payable to the Building and Plumbing Commission.

Processing times

Due to a recent increase in new commencements of appeals and disputes, there may be some delay in progressing these proceedings if they are non-urgent. We thank you for your understanding.
