VPRS 18455 Building Permit Registers

This series consists of building permit registers created by the Borough of Wonthaggi (VA 2539). Details in the registers include some or all of the following: Permit number Description of property Date of issue Owner name Builder name Description of work Estimated value Building permit fee Scaffolding permit fee Sanitary fee Crossing fee Fee total Crossing deposit Date of commencement Date of completion Certificate Area, floor, roof and wall details Under the provisions of the Local Government Act, councils were given wide-ranging powers for the making of by-laws to regulate the erection and construction of buildings and such other structures as advertising signs within the municipality. Councils were able to regulate the type of materials used and the manner in which they were used. This led to the development of the system whereby permits had to be obtained and plans and specifications submitted before any works could commence. The execution of this work was monitored by the Council Building Inspector. This register was part of the building permit/approval process. Applications for building construction were received and assigned an application number for the proposed building works and alterations. After the application was examined, and if the application was approved, an approval number was assigned. Applications were mainly for the building or alteration of dwelling places and domestic garages, but could include those for factory buildings, offices and administration buildings, public accommodation buildings such as motels, shops and public purpose buildings such as churches and hostels.

本系列数据集由旺塔吉自治市（Borough of Wonthaggi）编制的建筑许可登记簿构成（档案编号VA 2539）。登记簿所载信息包含以下部分或全部内容：许可编号、物业描述、签发日期、业主姓名、承建商姓名、工程内容说明、预估造价、建筑许可费、脚手架许可费、卫生费、道口费、费用总额、道口押金、开工日期、竣工日期、合格证书、面积、楼层、屋面及墙体详情。

根据《地方政府法》（Local Government Act）的规定，各市政委员会被赋予广泛权限，可制定附例以监管辖区内建筑物及广告招牌等其他构筑物的搭建与施工。委员会可规范所用材料的类型及施工方式。由此催生了一套许可制度：任何工程开工前，必须申领许可并提交施工图纸与技术说明。该工程的执行情况由市政委员会建筑督察员进行监管。

本登记簿属于建筑许可/审批流程的组成部分。工作人员接收建筑施工申请，并为拟建建筑工程及改造工程分配申请编号。经审核且通过的申请，将被分配审批编号。

申请内容主要涉及住宅及私人车库的建造或改造，但也可涵盖厂房、办公楼及行政楼、汽车旅馆与商铺等公共住宿建筑，以及教堂、招待所等公共用途建筑。
