Do I need planning permission for my home extension in Melbourne?
Short Answer
Planning permission requirements depend on your extension's size, location, and local council regulations. We handle all permit applications to ensure compliance.
Long Answer
Whether you need planning permission for your home extension depends on several factors, including the size, location, and type of extension you're planning. Many smaller extensions can be approved under VicSmart provisions or may fall within existing planning overlays that don't require full planning permits.
Generally, you'll need planning permission if your extension exceeds certain size limits, affects heritage overlays, impacts neighbouring properties significantly, or involves changes to front setbacks. Each Melbourne council has specific requirements, and factors like your property's zoning, existing floor area, and local planning schemes all play a role.
