Victoria's building industry is a significant component of the state's economy, employing almost 7 per cent of the work force and generating over $24 billion in domestic and commercial building work in 2010-11. The audit examined how effective the building permit system is in providing assurance that approved building works meet the required building and safety standards. Specifically, the audit examined how effectively the Building Commission regulates the activities of municipal and private building surveyors and councils enforce compliance with building permits within their municipalities.
