Step 7

Check the height of a dwelling in a Significant Landscape Overlay

Refer to the report from VicPlan Maps to see whether your property is in a Significant Landscape Overlay.

If so, measure the height of your structure from natural ground level to the structure's highest point. See whether the height is 6m or more.

Are you building a dwelling with a height of 6m or more in a Significant Landscape Overlay?

• If yes, apply for a Planning Permit. 
• If no, you do not need a Planning Permit. Check whether you need to request property information before you apply for a Building Permit.
