A Section 29A consent in Victoria lets a builder or owner legally start construction even if some minor permit conditions haven’t yet been met, ensuring work begins safely and lawfully.



1. Check if you need it. Determine which minor conditions of your building permit aren’t complete but still allow safe construction. 
2. Ask the private surveyor who issued your permit for a Section 29A consent. 
3. Provide details and get approval. Show that work can start safely despite incomplete conditions. 
4. Once approved, you can legally begin construction under the consent.
