Craigieburn

Homes and building in Craigieburn

Residential subdivision in Craigieburn began in 1972, and large-scale estate building, including Highlands, Aston, Annadale and Trilium, has continued since. So the suburb has homes of every age, from 1970s brick houses to homes finished in the last few years.

Much of Craigieburn sits above 200 m on Melbourne’s urban–rural edge, and the Craigieburn line terminates here. For a new build, the estate’s design guidelines and any restrictions on title matter as much as the council rules.

Before you start

What to check first in Craigieburn

  • 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 Craigieburn block.
  • If your lot is in a newer estate, read the design guidelines and the restrictions on your title before you design: they often control facade, fencing and garage position.
  • A new home whose planning permit application was lodged from 1 January 2024 can’t connect to mains gas, and from 1 January 2027 new homes must be built all-electric (Planning Victoria). Plan the hot water, heating and cooking around that from the start.

Planning questions for Craigieburn go to Hume City Council: planning permits. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.

Craigieburn questions

Which council handles planning permits in Craigieburn?

Hume City Council, under the Hume 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 build on a new estate lot in Craigieburn?

Yes. We build new Class 1 homes and Class 10a garages and carports on estate lots. Before we quote, we look at the estate design guidelines and any restrictions on your title, because they can affect the design and the price.

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

It depends on the job, the size, the finishes and what we find on site, so we don’t publish a price list. For homes from the 1970s through to new estate builds in Craigieburn, we visit first and then give you a written, itemised quote. Our renovation costs guide explains what drives the price.
