The BPC’s investigation into the Bundoora-based builder is ongoing but the immediate suspension is considered necessary on a public interest ground to prevent further consumer harm.
Other grounds in the immediate suspension notice relate to alleged breaches of the Domestic Building Contracts Act (DBCA) at building sites in Essendon, Pakenham and Breakwater in Geelong.
The BPC is alleging Aliya Homes and its director have been demanding and receiving money from homeowners without ensuring their building work is covered by domestic building insurance (DBI).
The immediate suspension applies to the company’s domestic building registration and the personal registration of the company’s director.
The suspension prevents both parties from carrying out domestic building work and will remain in place pending a show cause process.
The BPC has previously taken action against Aliya Homes by restricting its ability to do building work up to a maximum of $16,000 since February 2026 as they posed a financial risk.
The BPC is encouraging anyone with an unresolved complaint about Aliya Homes to contact our Consumer and Practitioner Service Centre on 1300 067 088.
Aliya Homes has the right to appeal the immediate suspension to VCAT.
