Before you start
Planning questions for Kew East go to City of Boroondara: permits for your property. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.
Questions
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.
It depends on the zone and any overlays. A building permit covers demolition, and a planning permit may also be needed. A new home with a building permit issued from 2027 must be all-electric. Start with a VicPlan report.
It depends on the job, the size, the finishes and what we find on site, so we don’t publish a price list. For established homes in Kew East, we visit first and then give you a written, itemised quote. Our renovation costs guide explains what drives the price.
