Homes and building in Toorak

Toorak’s housing mix comes from intense subdivision in the 1880s, 1920s and 1960s. Many mansions were built during the 1880s land boom, mostly Italianate, though few of the originals remain.

Traffic on Toorak Road and Williams Road is busy and street parking is limited, so deliveries and trades parking need planning for any job.

Before you start

What to check first in Toorak

  • If you live in an apartment or a unit on a shared title, check your owners corporation rules before renovating a bathroom or kitchen. Waterproofing, plumbing and structural work can affect common property.
  • 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 Toorak block.
  • Plan parking and deliveries early. Placing a skip or materials on the street may need a council permit from the City of Stonnington.

Planning questions for Toorak go to City of Stonnington: do I need a planning permit?. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.
