Building Permit Activity Data

The Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC), formerly Victorian Building Authority (VBA), collects information from building surveyors on the number, value and type of building permits issued each month as part of its functions under the Building Act 1993.

Building Permit Activity Data provides information relating to each building permit issued in the State of Victoria and reported to the BPC/VBA during the specified period. This includes: details of the buildings built (or demolished), estimated cost of works, levy paid, date permit was issued. In addition, the data can be sliced by: region, municipality, suburb, postcode and street name.
