Do I Need a Planning Permit for My Extension in Victoria?

Not always — but it depends on your project. Minor works like small single-storey extensions may qualify for exemptions under Victoria's planning rules, while larger extensions, second storeys, or homes in heritage or overlay zones usually require council approval.

Getting this wrong can delay your project or force costly redesigns down the track. The safest first step is a professional assessment of your site and plans before you commit.
