Asset Compliance

Our Asset Compliance team actively respond to and investigate reports involving building site concerns, illegal works within the road reserve and works in contravention of a permit.

We ensure works are in accordance with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Community Amenity Local Law 2022 and the Road Management Act 2004.

Types of cases we can investigate

  • Vehicle Crossing works
  • Vegetation removal
  • Landscaping and earthworks on road reserve
  • Road Opening and Drainage connection works
  • Traffic Management works
  • Hoardings/Occupation without permits
  • Building site concerns (noise, dust, messy site, rubbish, inadequate fencing, concrete wash, skip bins, sanitary facility, and sediment controls to protect stormwater contamination)

Investigating a report

Upon the submission of a report to Council, an Asset Compliance Officer will conduct an inquiry and assess the following aspects:

  • Has a permit been obtained?
  • If yes, have works been conducted in accordance with the permit?
  • If illegal works have taken place within the road reserve or if works are in contravention of a permit, an Asset Compliance Officer will follow the necessary steps to achieve compliance, reinstatement works and associated costs.

  • Issue an official warning
  • Issue an Infringement Notice
  • Compile a Brief of Evidence to proceed to Court under the Mornington Peninsula Shire Community Amenity Local Law 2022 and/or Road Management Act 2004
