The picturesque landscape of western Victoria, with its rolling hills and unique flora, is undeniably breathtaking. But with beauty often comes the challenge of ensuring safety, especially from bushfires. If you’re wondering whether your property in western Victoria requires a BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) Assessment, Surf Coast BAL Reports is here to help.
If your project requires a BAL rating for a building permit and falls within the Surf Coast shire we definitely have you covered. We service the following areas along the Great Ocean Road:
- Torquay
- Jan Juc
- Anglesea
- Bellbrae
- Aireys Inlet
- Fairhaven
- Lorne
We also cover Apollo Bay and surrounding areas in the Colac Otway shire.
Our Prime Location and Immediate Areas of Service
Our headquarters is nestled in the heart of Torquay. Consequently, if you need a BAL assessment in any of the following service areas we have you quickly covered:

We also cater to any Bushfire Prone Areas sandwiched between these towns.
