Shire of Nillumbik— Mould & Property Standards

The Shire of Nillumbik administers building and property standards for the Eltham region. While mould removal itself does not typically require a council permit, the underlying causes — plumbing leaks, drainage issues, or structural defects — may require building works that need approval.

For rental properties in the Shire of Nillumbik area, the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic) requires landlords to maintain properties in good repair, including addressing mould caused by structural defects. Tenants should report mould issues to their property manager in writing and keep photographic evidence.

If you suspect your mould problem is caused by a building defect, the specialists we connect you with can provide a professional assessment report that may support an insurance claim or landlord-tenant dispute.

Common causes include poor ventilation, leaking pipes, condensation on cold surfaces, rising damp, and inadequate bathroom extraction.

If mould is caused by a structural issue (leaks, rising damp, poor ventilation design), the landlord is typically responsible for remediation.

We recommend documenting mould with photos and notifying your property manager in writing.

Small patches of surface mould (less than 1 square metre) on hard surfaces like tiles can often be managed with household products. However, for mould covering larger areas, mould on porous materials (plasterboard, carpet, timber), recurring mould, or any suspected black mould (Stachybotrys), professional removal is strongly recommended. Eltham properties with bushland, shade, subfloor moisture often have underlying moisture issues that require professional assessment to prevent recurrence.
