Before you start

What to check first in Strathmore

  • 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 Strathmore block.
  • Strathmore’s post-war homes date from the 1950s and later, 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).
  • If your home is near the freeway, ask about acoustic glazing and insulation when you renovate. It’s easier to add during the work than afterwards.

Planning questions for Strathmore go to Moonee Valley City Council: planning services and permits. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.
