"One of Melbourne’s most densely populated local government areas and the most ethnically diverse, Maribyrnong Council takes its name from the river that forms the entirety of its eastern boundary with the City of Melbourne.
Supa Group’s service area includes the suburbs of Footscray, West Footscray and Maribyrnong but does not extend beyond. Our service area policy helps keep our customer service and quality high as working in a more contained area means less travel for our supervisors and trades.
Footscray in particular is one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs and contains many early buildings dating back to the 1850’s. The area along Moreland Street has a railway siding and originally wharves hugged the river banks that loaded and unloaded much of the cargo in and out of Melbourne prior to the establishment of the Port of Melbourne,
It was an incredibly industrial area with all sorts of heavy industry and other activities including meat works being carried out there.
In the 1880’s Melbourne was appropriately named Smelbourne because of the abattoir’s and tanneries that had located themselves along the upper reaches of the Yarra and also the Darebin and Merri Creeks that drained into the lower reaches of the Yarra and used these waterways as an open drain for their waste."
"The lower reaches of the Yarra winds it’s way through the goodly suburbs of Collingwood, Richmond, Toorak, South Yarra and the CBD and the stench from the river was much complained about by the residents of those suburbs.
These industries were moved to the West towards the end of the century and so the reputation of areas like Maribyrnong have suffered due to the location of these industries within it’s boundaries. This usage has declined over time and been taken over by residential towers and apartment complexes.
Footscray and West Footscray contains a mix of housing styles including Victorian, Edwardian, Californian Bungalows and post war homes.
The suburb of Maribyrnong meanders along the banks of the Maribyrnong River and has a much more open and suburban feel. It has wonderful floodplains along the river banks that stand as parkland for the local community,
Fun Fact: The Maribyrnong River was originally known as Saltwater River as the lower reached of the river are tidal."

Generally speaking, if you plan to extend or renovate a property in the Maribyrnong area, you must obtain a building permit before beginning your project. Depending on the scale of the extension and any alterations made to your home, you may be required to comply with additional requirements before being granted permission by the local council authorities. Our design consultants can guide you as to the specific regulations that apply to your property.
There may be circumstances, such as a heritage overlay that may affect your property. If this is the case, the Maribyrnong City Council may have to give planning consent prior to the building permit being issued.
Supa Group design with this in mind, understanding the conditions specific to your property. The planning permit application process is included in our service and the costs are included in our fixed price quotation.
Applications must include supporting documents like plans and sketches for approval by professionals who approve over-the-counter applications.
