Planning & Permits in Toorak
Stonnington City Council applies Heritage Overlay to a number of significant Toorak properties and streetscapes, with character policies that protect the suburb's predominant residential scale. New builds in heritage-affected areas require design of genuine architectural rigour, and pre-application engagement with council's heritage advisor is strongly recommended. Outside heritage overlays, the General Residential Zone provides a more standard planning pathway, though neighbour objections and VCAT appearances are more frequent in Toorak than almost anywhere else in Melbourne.
