Before you start
What to check first in Lalor
- 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 Lalor block.
- Many Lalor homes date from the late 1940s to the 1960s, 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).
- Two or more homes on a lot usually need a planning permit from the City of Whittlesea before the building permit.
Planning questions for Lalor go to City of Whittlesea: do I need a planning permit?. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.
