Whitehorse Council Insights

Whitehorse Council derives its name from a white horse statue located outside the first hotel and double storey building in the 1850’s.

As a child it was a memorable experience being a passenger in my parents car driving along Maroondah Highway to Ringwood and seeing the white horse that remains as a symbol of the council to this day.

Whitehorse Council sits snugly along Eastlink, hugging the Mullum Mullum Creek to the north and Dandenong Creek/Heatherdale Road to the east. The western boundary is with Boroondara Council along Warrigal Road and Highbury Road is the southern boundary where it abuts Monash Council.

Suburbs in the council are much sought after residential areas and include Blackburn, Box Hill, Burwood, Forest Hill, Mitcham, Mont Albert, Nunawading, Surrey Hills and Vermont.

Those suburbs closer to the Melbourne CBD such as Mont Albert and Surrey Hills are regarded as inner eastern and contain large blocks with Edwardian and 1930’s homes. Box Hill was the very edge of the growth of suburbia until the 1950’s and the area originally full of orchards and small farming operations gave way to housing.

These days Box Hill is largely unrecognizable compared to 30 years ago and is a CBD in its own right with many residential towers dotted along Whitehorse Road. It has great amenity in the form of public transport and the Whitehorse Road tram was extended from Union Road, Balwyn some 20 years ago through to Box Hill.

Over the years Supa Group have built hundreds of home extensions in the Whitehorse Council and we love working on the character homes in this council.

Fun Fact: Schwerkholt Cottage, built 1884 is a museum complex consisting of rude stonework and outbuildings. It is located in Mitcham just off Deep Creek Road and abuts the Eastlink Freeway. It is typical of the era of German Immigration into Victoria and a great place to visit.

Will I need a building permit for my Whitehorse house extensions?

You need a building permit for projects ranging from house extensions, building a shed or deck, adding new development to your property, and changing land use. In certain circumstances, you may also need planning permission from Whitehorse City Council.

The Whitehorse City Council’s planning permit process guidelines outline all necessary steps in this application. Planning approval must be obtained, if required, before any building permit applications begin. Our reliable, professional team will advise you on the best way forward and act on your behalf.

What is needed to apply for a Whitehorse City Council planning permit?

Before any building and renovating work begins on your house renovation project, you’ll need a building permit. In addition, your architect or registered builder must complete a range of project-specific documentation. Our friendly building design experts efficiently deal with all applications for our clients, so you needn’t worry.
