VBA is committed to improving its performance. It has completed 5 recommendations from the 3 reviews and has started addressing 31. But the scale of improvements it still needs to make is significant.
We grouped the 14 SOE targets and 48 recommendations into 5 themes.
The Victorian Government set up VBA to regulate the building and plumbing industries.
Since April 2021, 3 reviews, including one that covered the whole building sector, have made 48 recommendations on how VBA could improve its performance.
This section summarises our key findings. Sections 2 and 3 detail our complete findings, including supporting evidence.
When reaching our conclusions, we consulted with the audited agencies and considered their views. The agencies’ full responses are in Appendix A.
We made one recommendation to address one key issue. The Victorian Building Authority has accepted this recommendation in principle.
This dashboard provides transparency to the Victorian public and parliamentarians on agencies’ responses to our performance engagement recommendations.
Our performance engagements assess whether government agencies are effectively and efficiently meeting their objectives, using resources economically and complying with legislation. They often identify opportunities for improvement, which are reflected in our recommendations.
