Homes and building in Whittlesea
Whittlesea grew as a logging centre, and its railway ran from 1889 to 1959. During the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires the town was a focal point for firefighting and relief, and the local CFA brigade still helps protect the area around Mount Disappointment and Kinglake.
Yan Yean and Toorourrong reservoirs are close by. On land outside the township, sheds, garages and new homes all depend on the zone and the bushfire controls.
Before you start
What to check first in Whittlesea
- Whittlesea sits outside Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary, so the zoning and permit rules can differ from a typical suburban street. Check the zone first, and talk to the council before you design anything.
- If your Whittlesea land is in a designated bushfire prone area, a new home or extension has to be built to the site’s bushfire attack level (BAL). VicPlan shows whether the area applies, and your building surveyor confirms the BAL.
- 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 Whittlesea block.
Planning questions for Whittlesea go to City of Whittlesea: do I need a planning permit?. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.
