Termite and pest risk in Mambourin VIC
Whether termite protection is mandatory for a Mambourin lot depends on the building permit and the council's designation under the Building Regulations, which a Wyndham property information certificate will show. On our Mambourin stage inspections we have recorded termite collars missing at slab penetrations, no barrier under the external walls at frame and no durable notice in the meter box. Each one has to be confirmed or fixed while it can still be seen.
Ask the builder what termite system is specified.
Collars go on slab penetrations before the pour.
Barriers under external walls are visible at frame stage.
A durable notice belongs in the meter box.
Keep garden beds and mulch clear of the slab edge.
