Demolition Services Costs in Victoria for 2026

Demolition is the essential first step in most major property renovation and redevelopment projects, creating the clear site that allows new construction to begin without the constraints and complications of working around existing structures. In Melbourne's well-established residential market, demolition requests range from removing a dilapidated fibrous cement shed at the rear of a weatherboard home in preparation for a granny flat construction, to full house demolition on subdivided lots to clear land for new dual-occupancy or townhouse development. The scope, cost, and regulatory complexity of demolition work varies enormously across this range, with the presence of asbestos, the need for building permits, and the requirements for service disconnection all adding layers of planning and cost that are absent from simpler residential construction projects.

Victoria's demolition industry operates under a well-developed regulatory framework that reflects the state's relatively dense housing stock, the prevalence of asbestos in pre-1990 buildings, and the heritage protection requirements that apply to a significant proportion of Melbourne's established inner and middle suburban housing. WorkSafe Victoria administers asbestos removal licensing, the Building and Plumbing Commission administers contractor licensing, and local councils administer heritage overlay controls that can significantly restrict or condition the demolition of buildings identified as having heritage significance. Understanding this regulatory landscape before commissioning demolition work is essential for avoiding permit delays, non-compliant removal of regulated materials, and potential heritage violations that can result in significant penalties and remediation requirements.

Demolition Permits in Victoria

All demolition of buildings in Victoria requires a building permit under the Building Act 1993 (Vic). This applies to the full demolition of any Class 1 through Class 10 building, regardless of size, and also to partial demolition that affects a structural element of a building or changes the building's classification. The building permit for demolition is issued by a registered building surveyor and requires documentation of the proposed demolition method, evidence that a qualified person has assessed the building for asbestos-containing materials, confirmation that all utility services have been or will be disconnected before demolition begins, and the contractor's relevant licence and insurance details. Building permit fees for demolition in Victoria typically run $300 to $800 for shed and garage demolition and $800 to $2,500 for house demolition, depending on the project value and the building surveyor selected.

In addition to the building permit, demolition within a heritage overlay area requires a planning permit from the local council. Heritage overlay controls in Melbourne's inner suburbs, and in central Ballarat and Bendigo, are among the most comprehensive in Australia, and the demolition of a heritage-significant building within a heritage overlay without a planning permit constitutes a serious planning violation that can result in stop-work orders, restoration requirements, and significant financial penalties. The planning permit assessment for demolition in a heritage overlay involves evaluation of the building's contribution to the heritage character of the street and precinct, and the council may require retention of heritage-significant fabric even where the building is otherwise proposed for demolition. Consulting the council's heritage advisor before commissioning demolition work in any area subject to a heritage overlay is essential. Planning policy guidance is available through Vic.gov.au and through each council's local planning scheme online portal.

Asbestos in Victorian Buildings

Asbestos is present in a significant proportion of Victoria's residential building stock constructed before 1990, and it represents the most important safety and regulatory consideration in any Victorian demolition project. Asbestos was used extensively in Australian residential construction from the 1940s through to approximately 1987 when its use was progressively phased out following the increasing recognition of the health risks associated with asbestos fibre inhalation. In Victorian residential buildings, asbestos was used in fibrous cement (fibro) sheeting for external walls, eave linings, internal wall linings, wet area linings, and roof sheeting; in flexible floor vinyl backing; in roofing shingles; in corrugated cement sheeting; in pipe lagging; and in various sealed and textured ceiling coatings. Any building constructed before 1990 should be assessed for asbestos before any demolition work begins, even if the building appears to be constructed from non-asbestos materials.

The regulatory framework for asbestos in Victoria distinguishes between bonded (non-friable) asbestos, where the asbestos fibres are encapsulated in a rigid matrix (such as fibrous cement sheeting), and friable asbestos, where the fibres are loosely bound and can be crumbled by hand pressure. Bonded asbestos in quantities greater than 10 square metres must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist holding a Class B licence under the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2017 (Vic). Friable asbestos of any quantity must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist holding a Class A licence. An owner-occupier may remove bonded asbestos in quantities less than 10 square metres from their own home following WorkSafe Victoria's published guidelines, but the waste must still be double-wrapped, clearly labelled, and disposed of at a licensed asbestos disposal facility. Asbestos disposal is accepted at specific landfill facilities in Victoria at regulated disposal fees, typically $150 to $400 per tonne of asbestos waste material. Full information on asbestos removal licensing, safe work method requirements, and disposal obligations is available from WorkSafe Victoria.

An asbestos inspection by a qualified asbestos assessor before any demolition work begins is not merely good practice but a regulatory requirement under WorkSafe Victoria's guidelines for all demolition work on buildings that may contain asbestos. The assessor provides an asbestos register identifying all suspected asbestos-containing materials, their condition, and the recommended management or removal action for each item. This register forms the basis of the demolition contractor's asbestos management and removal plan, which must be prepared before work begins and must be available on site throughout the project. The cost of an asbestos inspection runs $300 to $800 for a standard residential property, and this investment prevents the far more costly scenario of disturbing unidentified asbestos during demolition work without proper controls in place.

Shed and Garage Demolition

Shed and garage demolition is the most common residential demolition service requested across Melbourne and regional Victoria, driven by the replacement of aging outbuildings with new structures better suited to current use requirements, the clearance of rear lots for granny flat and secondary dwelling construction, and the preparation of sites for new sheds and garages. The cost of demolishing a standard Colorbond or timber-frame shed varies primarily with the size of the structure, whether the concrete slab is included in the demolition scope, whether asbestos is present in the materials, and the access available for the demolition crew and waste removal equipment.

A small garden shed of 3 x 3 to 3 x 6 metres in standard Colorbond construction without asbestos costs $500 to $1,500 to demolish and remove, including the structure, any concrete slab removal (if required), and debris disposal. A medium shed of 6 x 6 metres costs $1,500 to $3,500 for the same scope. Timber-frame sheds take longer to demolish than Colorbond because the framing members must be individually removed and cut for disposal rather than simply folded flat, increasing the labour time and cost by 30 to 50 percent over an equivalent Colorbond structure. Older timber sheds with fibrous cement wall linings require asbestos assessment before any demolition work, and if asbestos is confirmed, the licensed removalist's work adds significantly to the project cost. After demolition, the cleared site typically requires site preparation before new construction begins, and old concrete slabs that are left in place may need to be assessed for suitability before being reused as a base for a new structure. For waste from the demolished structure, our rubbish removal guide covers disposal of timber, steel, and general demolition debris.

House Demolition in Victoria

Full house demolition in Melbourne is predominantly driven by the residential redevelopment market, where older single-dwelling properties in established suburbs are acquired for demolition and replacement with higher-density townhouses, dual-occupancy developments, or premium single-residence new builds. The demolition process for a standard single-storey timber-frame home in Melbourne involves utility service disconnection (electricity, gas, water, sewerage), asbestos removal if present, structural demolition by excavator and demolition crew, debris removal by tipper truck over multiple loads, and final site grading to leave a clear, level site ready for new construction. This full process for a standard three-bedroom timber-frame single-storey home in Melbourne costs $15,000 to $25,000, with the price varying based on the size and construction complexity of the dwelling, the asbestos content, and the access for demolition equipment and tipper trucks.

Double-storey homes and homes constructed of brick veneer or solid brick cost more to demolish than equivalent single-storey timber-frame homes. Brick demolition requires breaking masonry with a rock hammer attachment before the excavator bucket can remove the material, significantly slowing the demolition rate and increasing machine hours. Brick debris is also heavier than timber or light steel frame, requiring more tipper truck loads per cubic metre of demolished volume. A standard double-storey brick veneer Melbourne home costs $22,000 to $40,000 for full demolition and site clearance, reflecting both the greater volume of material and the additional machine hours needed for the brick component. Heritage brick homes in Melbourne's inner suburbs, where the brick is solid fired clay of premium quality, sometimes have demolition bricks that are saleable to architectural salvage dealers at $0.50 to $1.50 per brick, which can offset a small portion of the demolition cost on homes with large volumes of intact heritage brick.

Victorian heritage properties face additional demolition constraints. Where a building is individually listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, demolition is prohibited or heavily restricted under the Heritage Act 2017 (Vic) administered by Heritage Victoria. Properties in heritage overlay areas (which are far more numerous than individually listed properties) require a planning permit for demolition, and the council may refuse demolition entirely for buildings that make a significant contribution to the heritage character of the street or precinct. The distinction between an individually heritage-listed building (where demolition is essentially prohibited) and a building within a heritage overlay (where demolition may be approved with conditions) is important for property owners planning redevelopment in Melbourne's established suburbs. Heritage advice is available through Heritage Victoria, accessible via Vic.gov.au, and through each local council's heritage advisory service.

Pool Demolition in Victoria

Swimming pool demolition (also called pool abandonment or pool fill-in) is a service requested by Victorian property owners who want to reclaim yard space from an unused pool, reduce ongoing pool maintenance and compliance costs, eliminate the pool barrier compliance requirements under the Building Act 1993, or prepare a lot for redevelopment where the pool's footprint is required for new construction. The standard approach to pool demolition in Victoria involves draining the pool, removing the pool equipment and fittings, breaking up the pool shell with an excavator rock hammer, filling the broken shell with the generated rubble and imported fill material, and compacting the fill to provide a stable base for future landscaping.

Pool demolition costs $5,000 to $15,000 for a standard concrete or fibreglass residential pool of 8 x 4 metres, depending on whether the pool shell is broken in-situ and filled or fully removed from the site. The in-situ fill method (breaking the shell and filling with the rubble and imported gravel) is less expensive than full removal but leaves broken pool material in the ground, which may need to be disclosed in any future property sale where subsurface knowledge is material. Full removal of the pool shell and fill with clean imported material costs more but produces a site that is free of subsurface obstructions and suitable for future building work without qualification. Pool owners in Victoria must deregister their pool with the local council when demolishing it, as the Building Act 1993 requires pool registration and the deregistration process confirms the pool no longer exists and removes the associated inspection obligations. After pool demolition, artificial turf, paving, or garden restoration converts the filled pool area into usable outdoor space. For the general waste from pool demolition including old equipment, covers, and fittings, our rubbish removal guide covers disposal options.

Concrete and Slab Removal

Concrete removal is required across a range of residential renovation scenarios: removing an old driveway in preparation for a new surface, demolishing a shed slab when the shed is being removed and the space repurposed for garden or new construction, breaking out old paving or hardstand areas as part of a landscaping overhaul, and removing concrete footings or retaining wall bases that conflict with new construction. Concrete removal costs $50 to $150 per square metre for standard unreinforced or mesh-reinforced slabs at 100 mm thickness, including breaking, loading, and disposal. Heavily reinforced concrete (post-tensioned slabs, thick retaining walls, or commercial-grade structures) costs more because the reinforcement must be cut before the concrete can be removed, adding machine time and manual work to the project.

Concrete removal in Melbourne generates heavy debris that requires tipper truck disposal, with each 6 x 6 metre slab of 100 mm thickness weighing approximately 8 to 10 tonnes and requiring two to three tipper truck loads at $80 to $130 per load. Concrete is accepted at construction and demolition waste facilities as a recyclable material: it can be crushed into road base or drainage aggregate for reuse, diverting it from landfill and typically attracting a lower gate fee than general mixed demolition debris. Demolition contractors who separate clean concrete from other debris and deliver it to concrete recyclers pass a modest cost benefit to the project compared to mixed disposal. The EPA Victoria encourages material recovery and recycling from demolition projects under Victoria's Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021, which sets resource recovery targets for the construction and demolition sector.

Partial Demolition and Structural Alterations

Partial demolition involves the selective removal of specified building elements while retaining the remainder of the structure, and is common in renovation projects where an internal wall, an extension, a deck, or a section of the building requires removal before new work can proceed. Partial demolition requires more careful planning than full demolition because the elements being removed must be identified and sequenced correctly to avoid destabilising the remaining structure, and the interface between demolished and retained areas must be made good after the removal work to leave a weatherproof and structurally sound transition. A structural engineer should review any partial demolition that involves load-bearing walls, suspended floor structures, or roof elements to confirm that the remaining structure has adequate support after the removal.

The building permit requirement for partial demolition depends on the extent of the work and whether it affects structural elements. Removal of non-structural internal walls generally does not require a building permit if the wall is confirmed to be non-structural by a builder or structural engineer. Removal of external walls, structural elements, or any demolition that affects the building envelope requires a building permit. Heritage overlay properties require a planning permit for any demolition work that affects fabric covered by the overlay. For partial demolition combined with renovation construction, engaging a builder who can manage both the demolition and the new construction work under a single contract provides better coordination of the structural interface and simplifies the permit process. After partial demolition, our rubbish removal guide covers disposal of timber, plasterboard, and mixed renovation debris, our gutter cleaning guide covers roofline maintenance on retained structures, and our pressure cleaning guide covers cleaning of the remaining structure after construction dust and debris have been removed.

Service Disconnections Before Demolition

All utility services must be properly disconnected, capped, and certified before any demolition work begins on a structure in Victoria. This requirement protects demolition workers from electrical shock, gas explosion, and water damage, and ensures that the utility infrastructure is properly terminated to prevent ongoing supply charges and safety hazards on the cleared site. Electricity disconnection is arranged through the property's electricity retailer and completed by AusNet Services or the relevant distribution network service provider, typically costing $200 to $600 for the disconnection and meter removal. Gas disconnection is arranged through the gas retailer and completed by Australian Gas Networks, with the meter removed and the service terminated at the property boundary at a cost of $150 to $400.

Water and sewerage disconnection is managed through the relevant water authority (Yarra Valley Water, South East Water, Western Water, or City West Water in metropolitan Melbourne), involving capping the water connection at the property boundary and decommissioning any internal services that must be removed before demolition. The cost of water disconnection runs $300 to $800 depending on the work required and the relevant water authority. Telecommunications services including NBN, Telstra copper, and pay-TV connections should be removed before demolition to prevent damage to the external network infrastructure. Not all telecommunications disconnections require a formal application; in many cases simply removing the equipment from the house and notifying the provider is sufficient. The total cost of service disconnections before house demolition in Victoria typically runs $800 to $2,500 across all services, and this cost should be included in demolition quotes rather than being presented as an unexpected additional charge after the project begins. For the site after demolition is complete, our excavation and earthmoving guide covers site preparation for new construction, our driveway cleaning guide covers preparation of retained hard surfaces, and our fencing guide covers boundary delineation after structural demolition.

Heritage Demolition Controls in Victoria

Victoria has one of the most comprehensive heritage protection frameworks in Australia for built heritage, with over 600,000 properties estimated to be within heritage overlays across the state. Heritage Victoria administers the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR), which lists properties of state significance, while local councils administer heritage overlays in their planning schemes that protect properties of local significance. The demolition of any building on the VHR requires approval from Heritage Victoria under the Heritage Act 2017 (Vic), and demolition of contributory buildings within council heritage overlays requires a planning permit from the local council.

In Melbourne's inner suburbs including Fitzroy, Carlton, Richmond, South Yarra, Prahran, St Kilda, and most established suburbs within 15 kilometres of the CBD, a significant proportion of residential buildings are within heritage overlays. Property owners in these areas planning demolition for redevelopment must engage a town planner and heritage consultant before commissioning any demolition work to understand whether the specific building is a contributory element within the overlay, whether demolition can be approved, and what conditions may apply. In Ballarat's Central Business Heritage Area and residential heritage precincts, demolition of contributory buildings is strongly resisted by the City of Ballarat, and applicants must demonstrate that the building is beyond economic repair and that the proposed replacement is of a design quality that does not detract from the heritage character of the precinct. Standards and guidelines for heritage significance assessment are referenced through the Australian ICOMOS Burra Charter, with Victorian-specific guidance from Heritage Victoria accessible via Vic.gov.au. Standards Australia publishes relevant demolition and asbestos management standards.

Asbestos and Demolition in Victoria's Housing Stock

Victoria's substantial stock of homes built between 1945 and 1990 contains the highest concentration of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) of any era in Australian residential construction, with fibrous cement sheeting (fibro) from manufacturers including James Hardie (Hardiflex), CSR (Versilux), and Wunderlich used extensively for wall cladding, eave linings, roofing, internal linings, and wet area sheeting throughout this period. James Hardie, CSR, and Wunderlich produced asbestos-cement products that are now identifiable by their era of installation and characteristic grey-white appearance, though definitive identification requires laboratory testing of a sample by a NATA-accredited laboratory. Any demolition of a Victorian residential structure built before 1990 must be preceded by an asbestos survey by a qualified asbestos assessor, and any asbestos identified must be removed before the main demolition work begins using a licensed asbestos removalist holding a Class A or Class B licence under the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2017 (Vic).

The Victorian Environment Protection Authority (EPA) administered the transition from the old Environment Protection Act 1970 to the current Environment Protection Act 2017, which significantly strengthened the regulatory framework for demolition waste management. Under the 2017 Act, demolition contractors must classify the waste categories generated by their work and ensure each waste stream goes to an appropriately licensed disposal facility. Mixed general demolition waste, clean concrete and masonry, clean timber, metals, and regulated waste including asbestos each have different permitted disposal pathways and disposal costs. Contractors who mix regulated waste with general demolition debris increase the disposal cost for the entire load and may face EPA enforcement action. Melbourne's metropolitan transfer stations operated by councils and private operators including Bingo Industries, JJ's Waste (now REMONDIS), and Cleanaway provide compliant mixed and separated demolition waste disposal, with gate fees varying significantly between facilities based on material type and weight.

The demolition permit process in Victoria's heritage overlay areas requires specific expertise that distinguishes routine residential demolition contractors from those equipped for heritage-sensitive projects. The City of Melbourne, City of Yarra, City of Port Phillip, and City of Stonnington in the inner suburbs, and the City of Ballarat and Greater Bendigo in regional Victoria, all have substantial heritage overlays where demolition of any structure requires a planning permit that must address heritage impact. The planning permit application must demonstrate that the structure proposed for demolition is not of individual heritage significance, and that its removal does not affect the integrity of the surrounding heritage streetscape. Engaging a heritage architect or heritage planner to prepare the planning permit application for demolition in a heritage overlay area is strongly recommended, as a refused permit wastes the demolition budget already committed to contractor engagement and site preparation. Husqvarna demolition equipment including core drills, wall saws, and wire saws are widely used for precision demolition work in heritage-sensitive environments where the targeted removal of specific elements must not disturb adjacent retained fabric.

Demolition Waste Management in Victoria

Demolition projects generate significant volumes of mixed waste that must be managed in compliance with Victoria's Environment Protection Act 2017. The three primary waste streams from residential demolition are inert construction and demolition (C and D) waste including concrete, brick, and masonry; putrescible waste including timber, plasterboard, and organic material; and regulated waste including asbestos, lead paint fragments, and chemically contaminated material. Each stream has a different disposal pathway and cost, and separating these streams during demolition rather than mixing them into a single general waste load significantly reduces the overall disposal cost by allowing lower-cost disposal of the higher-volume inert materials at appropriate facilities.

Concrete and masonry from demolished Victoria structures can be accepted as recyclable material at licensed construction and demolition waste processors, where it is crushed and screened into road base, drainage aggregate, and fill products that are resold into the construction market. Tipping fees for clean concrete at recycling facilities are typically lower than for general mixed demolition waste, and this price differential provides a financial incentive for demolition contractors to separate concrete from the general waste stream. Timber from demolished structures can similarly be diverted to timber recycling operators and, for high-quality heritage timber, to architectural salvage dealers who pay for sound hardwood and heritage softwood suitable for reuse. EPA Victoria provides guidance on waste classification and disposal requirements for demolition contractors under the Environment Protection Act 2017, including the duty of care obligations that apply to all waste producers and handlers in Victoria.

Asbestos waste from Victorian demolition projects must be disposed of at a licensed landfill facility approved to accept asbestos-containing materials. In metropolitan Melbourne, licensed asbestos disposal facilities are located in several outer suburban areas, with specific access arrangements and disposal procedures required for each facility. The asbestos waste must arrive at the facility double-wrapped in heavy polyethylene, clearly labelled as asbestos waste with the quantity and type of asbestos contained, and accompanied by a waste transport record that documents the chain of custody from the removal site to the disposal facility. These documentation requirements create an auditable record that prevents illegal dumping of asbestos waste and ensures the material reaches appropriate containment. After demolition is complete and the site is clear, a professional pressure cleaning of any retained concrete surfaces removes demolition dust and debris, and our gutter replacement guide covers the roofline renewal that is often needed on retained structures after adjacent demolition exposes them to the elements.

Protecting Neighbouring Properties During Demolition

Demolition of a building in a dense Melbourne suburban setting creates real risks for neighbouring properties including structural vibration damage, dust contamination, falling debris, and the disruption of shared services or boundary fences that connect the buildings. A responsible demolition contractor will assess these risks during the quoting phase, implement appropriate temporary protection measures (hoarding, dust screens, vibration monitoring where required, and protection of shared boundary fences or walls), and manage the demolition sequence to minimise impact on neighbouring properties. These protective measures add time and cost to the project but are a non-negotiable professional responsibility.

Where demolition is proposed on a semi-detached, row, or terrace property that shares a common wall with the neighbouring dwelling, the structural implications of removing one side of the shared wall must be assessed by a structural engineer before demolition begins. The remaining neighbour's building may require temporary propping or shoring during the demolition of the adjacent structure, and the exposed shared wall surface must be weatherproofed immediately after the adjoining structure is removed to protect the neighbouring property from water ingress. The cost of engineering assessment, propping, and weatherproofing for terrace demolition in Melbourne's inner suburbs adds $3,000 to $8,000 to the project cost. Disputes between property owners and demolition contractors over damage to neighbouring properties during demolition are among the most common types of construction-related disputes handled by VCAT, and the importance of a detailed demolition plan agreed before work begins cannot be overstated for shared-wall situations.

After Demolition: Preparing the Site for New Construction

Once demolition is complete and the site is cleared of all debris, the transition from demolition to new construction begins with site preparation works that establish the correct levels, drainage, and sub-base for whatever is to be built next. The order of activities on a demolished residential site is typically: confirm the cleared levels with a surveyor or builder's level; resolve any underground services that were exposed during demolition and need capping or rerouting; import and spread sub-base material if the cleared level is below the design slab level; compact the sub-base to specified density; and form the slab edge ready for concrete. For properties where a new shed or garage, carport, or granny flat is to be built on the cleared site, coordinating the demolition contractor and the new construction contractor at the handover point prevents the gap in site management that allows opportunistic dumping, weed establishment, and site drainage deterioration on an unmanaged cleared site.

Newly cleared sites in Melbourne's reactive clay environment need careful drainage management during the interval between demolition and new construction. The clay subgrade exposed by demolition will absorb rainfall and swell during wet weather, and may crack and shrink during subsequent dry periods, making it critical that any imported sub-base material is not placed on excessively wet clay that would consolidate under load. A short waiting period after demolition during wet weather conditions allows the clay subgrade to reach a more stable moisture state before sub-base placement and compaction begins. Our excavation and earthmoving guide covers the site preparation that follows demolition, and our rubbish removal guide covers any residual waste from the cleared site that requires collection. For the perimeter of the cleared site, temporary fencing during construction provides site security and safety screening that is both a practical requirement and a legal obligation under Victorian building site safety regulations administered by WorkSafe Victoria.

What to Look for in Demolition Quotes

A comprehensive demolition quote should specify the structure to be demolished (address, dimensions, construction type), whether the concrete slab is included in the demolition scope or left in place, the asbestos management approach (whether a pre-demolition asbestos inspection is included or the owner's responsibility, and how any confirmed asbestos will be removed and disposed of), the waste disposal method and which facility the debris will be taken to, whether service disconnection is included or managed separately, and the building permit cost and responsibility. Quotes that give a single total price for demolition without addressing asbestos separately are a significant warning sign: if asbestos is discovered after a fixed-price contract is signed without asbestos provisions, the contractor may claim substantial variations to cover the licensed removalist cost that was not included.

Verify that the demolition contractor holds a current Domestic Building Contractor licence from the Building and Plumbing Commission for residential demolition work with a value above $10,000. For commercial demolition, the contractor must hold an appropriate commercial building contractor licence. Asbestos removal work must be performed by a licensed asbestos removalist: Class B licence for bonded (non-friable) asbestos, and Class A licence for friable asbestos. These licences are issued and administered by WorkSafe Victoria and can be verified through the WorkSafe online register before work begins. The contractor must provide a copy of their asbestos licence, public liability insurance (minimum $5 million), and workers compensation insurance before any work commences on site. Consumer rights protections for demolition work, including your rights if the contractor damages neighbouring property or does not complete the scope as agreed, are covered by the Australian Consumer Law through Consumer Affairs Victoria. Environmental obligations for demolition waste disposal are administered by EPA Victoria. Relevant standards for demolition safety, asbestos management, and waste handling are published by Standards Australia.
