Moreland / Merri-bek Council Insights

"To the north of Melbourne’s CBD Merri-Bek Council (formerly Moreland) is bordered by Park St (abutting Calton North & Parkville) to the South and the Western Ring Road to the North. It’s Eastern boundary is defined mainly by the Merri Creek and the Western boundary runs along the Moonee Ponds Creek to the west.

It incorporates many popular suburbs including the three Brunswicks (East, West and self), Coburg, Coburg North, Pascoe Vale South, Pascoe Vale, Oak Park Hadfield and Fawkner.

Generally speaking it has smaller lot sizes which has kept unit development to a minimum and there are many wonderful examples of period homes in the area that Supa Group love to extend and renovate.

Fun Fact: The suburb of Coburg was originally called Pentridge. It was changed to Coburg in honour of Prince Albert who was a member of the House of Saxe Coburg. This was as a result of a petition by the residents of Pentridge to distance themselves from the goal.

In the 1850’s there was a stockade built at the present site of the old Pentridge Prison to accommodate the increasing need to incarcerate people as the population boomed due to the gold rush. Blustone was abundant and the primary task of the prisoners was to cut up bluestone into pavers, gutters and road base."

"These prisoners were responsible for the formation of the Sydney Road which runs through the spine of Merri-Bek council. It is highly likely that under the existing tarmac are the remnants of those early efforts.

Fun Fact 2: The bluestone used to construct the prison was quarried from Coburg Lake, part of the Merri Creek.

The Brunswick’s, (also a German name) are densely populated suburbs with an abundance of Victorian and Edwardian Homes mainly freestanding, but also terraces with rich filigree and other ornamentation.

Pascoe Vale and Pascoe Vale South were largely developed after the second world war. The housing stocks consist mainly of Art Deco and post war Austerity Styles. There are also many examples of beautiful brick homes built in the 1960’s.

Hadfield and Fawkner were largely developed in the 1960’s on decent sized blocks. There has been quite a bit of development in favour of townhouses.

Supa Group have built hundreds of home extensions in this council over the past 50 years."

Frequently asked questions

Are there any Merri-bek planning permit fees?

Your planning permit fees will depend on several factors, including the scale and type of building renovations you’re undertaking. Click here to get an overview of these prices and the different components of the fee structure. These costs are part of our fixed-price quotation.

What is Merri-bek City Council’s planning permit process?

Applying for a planning permit is very involved, which is why most people engage with a fully registered builder to act for them and step through the whole process. This infographic provides Merri-bek residents with an excellent overview of all entailed.

If you have a heritage-listed property or some other complication, such as a previous subdivision on the land or lot size, your application will be more complex.

Do I need a planning permit from Merri-bek City Council for home extensions?

We assess whether our clients require a planning permit for their renovation or extension needs on a case-by-case basis. There may be planning constraints particular to your property title, such as heritage or flood overlays. Your lot size and whether the property has been previously subdivided can also be a factor. The Merri-bek Planning Scheme provides details about the rules that apply to land use and development and needs consideration also. 

To find out if you need a planning permit from the Merri-bek City Council, you can contact them directly, or we can act on your behalf and advise you on the best course of action.
