“I relocated interstate with two dogs and never thought a new home could feel like me, but they took me under their wing, kept me updated the whole way, and let me customise everything from the flooring to the kitchen layout. Genuine, passionate, and a pleasure to deal with.”
It genuinely varies street to street, which is why we check rather than assume. St Kilda sits within Heritage Overlay 7 (HO7), a large precinct introduced in 2001 spanning St Kilda, Elwood, Balaclava and Ripponlea. It covers everything from grand Victorian-era mansions and villas to interwar Art Deco flats. What's allowed depends entirely on your property's specific classification within that overlay, not the suburb as a whole. We confirm this at the site visit before quoting anything.

Most standard, internal kitchen renovations in St Kilda do not require a planning permit. If your property is within the HO7 precinct and you're making structural or external changes, a permit is likely required. We identify your property's specific status during the site visit and advise you before you commit to anything.
