Homes and building in Camberwell

Kasouka Road is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian villas, and the hilly terrain gives many east–west streets in Prospect Hill views of the city. Camberwell Junction, where three tram routes meet, anchors the Burke Road shopping strip.

Five railway stations on three lines serve the suburb, which makes site access and parking for trades worth planning on busier streets.

Before you start

What to check first in Camberwell

  • Get a free planning property report for your address from VicPlan. It shows the zone and any overlays (such as heritage, flooding or vegetation) that apply to your Camberwell block.
  • Under a heritage overlay, a planning permit is generally needed to demolish, to change the outside of the building, and to paint a surface that hasn’t been painted before, so allow time for that before the building permit.
  • Many Camberwell homes were built well before 1990, so before a renovation strips out walls, floors or eaves, check for asbestos. WorkSafe Victoria notes asbestos can be found in buildings built before 1990 (WorkSafe Victoria).

Planning questions for Camberwell go to City of Boroondara: permits for your property. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.

City of Boroondara, under the Boroondara Planning Scheme. A free VicPlan planning property report shows the zone and overlays for your address, and the council can tell you whether your project needs a planning permit.

Can you renovate a Victorian or Edwardian home in Camberwell?

Yes. We check the structure, floors and services first, plan the work around any heritage controls, and waterproof new wet areas to the current standard while keeping the home’s character.

How much does a renovation or new build cost in Camberwell?

It depends on the job, the size, the finishes and what we find on site, so we don’t publish a price list. For Victorian and Edwardian homes in Camberwell, we visit first and then give you a written, itemised quote. Our renovation costs guide explains what drives the price.
